Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No relief from the risin' tide
Somethin' in the way of the world has changed
Broken apart and rearranged
And the river's risin' (river's risin')
Rain keeps pourin' down
And the river's risin' (river's risin')
Oh, take me to a higher ground
Not too little and much too late
Courting disasters, tempting fate
Goin' against all natural laws
Putting effect before the cause
And the river's risin' (river's risin')
Rain keeps pourin' down, down, down, down
River's risin' (river's risin')
Take you to a higher ground
When will I see the sun shine again
When will this darkness come to an end?
Watchin' and waitin', the flood waters rise
I can't believe what's before my eyes
And the river's risin' (river's risin')
Rain keeps pourin' down, down, down, down
River's risin' (river's risin')
Oh, take me to a higher ground
And the river's risin' (river's risin')
Rain keeps pourin' down, down, down, down
River's risin' (river's risin')
Oh, take you to a higher ground
Take you to a higher ground
Higer ground
Higer ground
Higer ground
