Lyrics

Was just a young man came from an old steel town
He’s getting tired now, too blind to look around
He ran around with his needle and his spoon
An empty lie was on his lips
Everyone around thinks he’s so bad
But he’s really not that cool
I know the reasons why
His conscience burns inside
He was born by the river
He died by the river now
Inside his river’s run dry
Now deep inside he never swallowed his pride
Do what it takes to keep his memory alive
I know, I know now he’s gone away from here
I say Jesus, Lord forgive him
And look upon who’s buried here
I know the reasons why
Deep inside he’s lost his mind
He was born by the river
He died by the river now
Inside his river’s run dry
He was born by the river
His blood ran through the river now
Deep inside his river ran dry
Just reach out your hands and pray
Maybe someday you’re gonna find the way
I know the reasons why
You’re sure to hear my cry
You were born by the river
You died by the river now
I know your river ran dry
You died by the river
And your soul’s been delivered
I hope you’re livin’ on high
