Lyrics
See the shades of dawning, will my will be done
Is there heaven in this morning, or is it just a rising sun
Can't see for the distance, tomorrow, I can't tell
I'm so tired of this resistance, there's no more water in my well
River Jordan, take me away
Float me down to Charleston Bay
Can't find words, except to say
Maybe today, maybe today
If not for my own blindness, maybe I could see
And feel and touch the breathe of life, flowing over me
But that's not my story; it faded from the plan
Those feelings and emotions, trickled through my hand
River Jordan, take me away
Float me down to Charleston Bay
Can't find words, except to say
Maybe today, maybe today
I've no need for sleeping, or need to be awake
Suspended animation, is 'bout all that I can fake
So speak to me with kindness, let me know the truth
Is there wisdom in my future, or was it wasted in my youth
River Jordan, take me away
Float me down to Charleston Bay
Can't find words, except to say
Maybe today, maybe today
