River

Been traveling these wide roads

For so long

My heart's been far from you

Ten thousand miles gone

Ooh I wanna come near and give you

Every part of me

But there's blood on my hands

And my lips aren't clean

In my darkness I remember

Mama's words reoccur to me

Surrender to the good Lord

And He'll wipe your slate clean

Take me to your river

I wanna go

Oh, go on

Take me to your river

I wanna know

Dip me in your smooth waters

I go in

As a man with many crimes

Come up for air

As my sins flow down the Jordan

Ooh I wanna come near and give you

Every part of me

But there's blood on my hands

And my lips aren't clean

Take me to your river

I wanna go

Oh, go on

Take me to your river

I wanna know

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Ooh, take me to your river

I wanna go

Oh Lord please let me know

Take me to your river

I wanna know
