Thirsty

Thirsty - Chris Rice

I'm so thirsty I can feel it

Burning through the furthest corners of my soul

Deep desire I can't describe this

Nameless urge that drives me somewhere

Though I don't know where to go

Seems I've heard about a river

From someone who's been

And they tell me once you reach it

Oh you'll never thirst again

So I have to find the river

Somehow my life depends on the river

Holy river

Other waters I've been drinkin'

But they always leave me empty like before

Satisfaction all I'm askin'

Could I really be this thirsty

If there weren't something more

And I've heard about a river

From someone who's been

And they tell me once you reach it

Oh you'll never thirst again

So I have to find the river

Somehow my life depends on the river

Holy river I'm so thirsty I'm so thirsty

I'm on the shore now of the wildest river

And I kneel and beg for mercy from the skies

But no one answers I've gotta take my chances

'Cause something deep inside me's cryin'

"This is why you are alive"

So I plunge into the river with all that I am

Praying this will be the river

Where I'll never thirst again

I'm abandoned to the river

And now my life depends on the river

Holy river I'm so thirsty I'm so thirsty

I'm so thirsty I'm so thirsty
