Oh black river |
|
oh black river |
|
come wash over me |
|
I'll stay under your rushing water |
|
until i come up clean |
|
I've heard the healing of your power |
|
can make a blind man see |
|
oh black river |
|
oh black river |
|
come wash over me |
|
Oh black river |
|
i've been standing for too long on your shore |
|
in that place i felt the weight of all the hurt i bore |
|
but you run dark with the stains from hearts |
|
of sinners who've come before |
|
oh black river is there room for just one more |
|
Oh black river |
|
I often wander through the valley of thorns |
|
among the thieves beside the whores |
|
lives broke and torn |
|
would you rise your banks, flood the plains |
|
for the lowly and forlorn |
|
oh black river |
|
drown me here and I will be reborn |
