Lyrics
I'm going down to the river, down to the riverside. I'm going down to the river, gonna wash away my tears tonight. I'm going to wash away my temptation, going to wash away all my greed, going to wash away confirmation no one ever cared about me. I'm going down to kneel in the waters. I'm going down to make amends. I'm going down to the river, I'm going down to make it all end. Forgiveness is like the light that you see, forgiveness is like what it is to be free, and love is like something I don't know. Love is just something I've been told Peace is like what it is to mend and greet redemption like a long lost friend. i'm going down to the river, I'm going down to find my soul. The one that was taken from me, I want it back before I get old. I need to sing my song to the waters; I need to tell my tale to the sky; I need to see my pale reflection, I need to do this before I die. is like what it is to be free, and love is like something I don't know. Love is just something I've been told Peace is like what it is to mend and greet redemption like a long lost friend.
