The Holy River Lyrics
Let's go down 2the holy river
If we drown then we'll be delivered
U can still see the picture upon the wall
One eye staring at nothing at all
The other one trying 2focus through all your tears
U can try and try but there's nothin' 2hide
U can't run from yourself and what's inside
U got 2find the answers 2the questions that u most fear
So over and over u ask your soul
Why'd u come down 2a world so cold
And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told
U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
Spending your time in all the wrong places
Puttin' your faith in things that only make u cry
People say they love u when they wanna help
But how can they when u can't help yourself
The more they say they love u
The more u just wanna die
So here we go again
The self analysis
Have another glass of port and uh
Forget this
The band's playin' at the club 2night and they're bound 2groove
There u are
U think u're high
U can't ask yourself cuz u'd only lie
If u had a dollar 4every time u tried
U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell u straight up
Come and make love when u really hate 'em
Relationships based on the physical are over and done
They're over and done
They're over and done
U'd rather have fun
With only one
With only one
Only one
One
One
And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall
Who gave u life when there was none at all
Who gave the sun permission 2rise up everyday
Ooh
Oh yes
Let me tell it
Go'n
If u ask god 2love u longer
Every breath u take will make u stronger
Keepin' u happy
Happy
And proud 2call his name
Go'n and say it
Jesus
Jesus
And over and over u ask your soul
Why'd u come down 2a world so cold
And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told
And this time I was listening
Hear me
Let's go down 2the holy river
If we drown then we'll be delivered
Yes we will
If we don't then we'll never see the light
No
If u die before u try
U'll have 2come back and face the light
Oh yes
When u believe it
U got a good reason 2cry
Oh my
My
So I went on down 2the holy river
I called my girl and told her I had something 2give her
I asked her 2marry me and she said yes
I cried
Oh
That night I drowned in her tears and mine
And
And instead of a glass of sorrow and wine
Looking back y'all
I don't miss nothing except the time
And when I see that picture upon the wall
The one eye staring at nothing at all
My eyes trying 2focus but these are much different tears
Oh
Yes they are
