I see a distance ten miles wide

You're the old good or bad, it's time to pick a side

Hear you raging, but I feel cold

Look, time is running out for the young and the old

Feel my bones start to shiver

Take me down to the river

I see a young girl there seated and dressed

See a young boy on one knee getting ready to confess

I see a preacher out in the sand

See a crowd of people around him reaching for his hand

Take my heart, take my liver

Take me down to the river

Oh no

Factories burning, houses too

Never meant that much to me, didn't mean a thing to you

People bending, starting to break

Ain't it sad when you see all your love turn to hate?

Time to stand and deliver

Take me down to the river

See a cloud starting to wither

Take me down to the river
