Lyrics

I'm going to the river
I think I'm gonna take a dive
Way down deep down there
Where I once was alive
All my sorrow fades away
And all my pain goes away to another place
away from me

I'm going to the river
I think I'm gonna take a swim
Let it carry all my cares away from me again
Here I come again my friend
I depend upon you to wash my troubles away
yeah

River

On the eighth month of the second day
Every thing it fell to pieces
On that same day I found out how deep your waters flowed
I could hear your waters speak
Movin' the mountains of pain away from me
yeah

River

Oh great waters flow in me
Absolutely flow
Move those mountains on

Down by the river some folk think it's all cliche'
But I'm here to say that river still runs deep today
Still mountains mighty and small
Into the sea that has no bottom or end

River
