Lyrics
I wasn't livin'
Didn't need savin'
But I couldn't find a soul
Dryness in my bones
I went dancing in the river
I met a quaker
Bible thumper
Who sought to meet The Maker
Redemption in her sneakers
And she went dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
Well, we shake
She was all faith
I was all crazy
Dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
Remember the life
I have finished
Deliver me, brother
I'm gone fishin'
Dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
Dancing in the river
I met a grifter
Thought he was richer
But when the money hit the water
It went and just drifted away
Dancing in the river
I heard them voices
White noises
"Let go of all your grudgin'
You were never meant to be here to stay
Get to dancing in the river"
Now I'm dancing in the river
Feet fail me now
Keep from the house
I stayed there all winter
Take me to the river
Yeah, take me to the river
Take a breath and sigh as you remember
Get back your might
Fixin' all your splinters
Dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
Dancing in the river
And in the morning
We hopped a boat and
Sailed through the starlight
Lapsing over lifelines
Threw my arms into the air
Music in our whispers
Let me tell you I was there
Brothers and sisters
Dancing in the river
Felt the Holy Ghost wigglin' in my toes
Emerging from the smoke
That Glory Land was close
Yeah, the water rocked the boat
As we swept into the beach
With sands as white as ghosts
No words could ever speak it
Dancing in the river
Oh, my faith was just a road
Of gospels and steeples
My body just a home
And preachers just people
Alright!
Yeah, we feel it in our bones
Washing off our feet
Father take my soul
But leave my heart beatin'
Dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
Oh! Oh!
I squandered the life I was given
Wash your feet in lightness
Switchin' all your sinnin' to
Dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
We were dancing in the river
Dancing in the river
