The River

My minds been playin' tricks on me Been carryin' me a heavy a load If quicksands underneath my feet I'll dig 'til I find some gold I've been awakened by my Will to survive, and now I'm ready to fight this time It's do or die When the water takes a hold No, I won't let it break my soul I'll keep swimming 'til I make it home (Oh, oh, oh) Take me to the river When life's been tryin' to cut me deep I'm just gonna let it bleed Never been a prayin' man Now I'm foldin' up my hands This who I am I've been awakened by my Will to survive, and now I'm ready to fight this time It's do or die When the water takes a hold No, I won't let it break my soul I'll keep swimming 'til I make it home (Oh, oh, oh) Take me to the river I'ma let it all just wash away Take me to the river I ain't gonna leave here like I came (Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh) Take me to the river, mmm I've been awakened by my Will to survive, and now I'm ready to fight this time It's do or die When the water takes a hold No, I won't let it break my soul I'll keep swimming 'til I make it home (Oh, oh, oh) Take me to the river I'ma let it all just wash away Take me to the river I ain't gonna leave here like I came (Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh) Take me to the river
