There was always
|
A power I could feel
|
It was guidance
|
To tell me the way to go--
|
But nowadays
|
I feel like I can’t hear that voice
|
I’ve been flying blind
|
I need you to come, and be my eyes
|
(Be my eyes)
|
|
Chorus:
|
River rise
|
Carry me back home
|
(I cannot remember the ways)
|
River rise
|
Carry me back home
|
(I surrender today)
|
|
I was always
|
A charmed flower child
|
I would sit for hours
|
And listen to the sky--
|
But nowadays
|
I feel like I don’t have that choice
|
I’ve been looking down in desperation
|
I need you to be my inspiration
|
(My inspiration)
|
|
Chorus:
|
River rise
|
Carry me back home
|
(I cannot remember the ways)
|
River rise
|
Carry me back home
|
(I surrender today)
|
|
I bow down
|
And I humble myself
|
I can’t do this
|
Lord I need your help
|
|
All the material things
|
They feel like chains
|
If you’re not here beside me
|
You’re the reason I sing
|
(Help me to remember the way)
|
I surrender--
|
Help me to remember
|
Only you can show me
|
(Only you can show me the way)
|
I surrender
|
(I surrender today)
|
You are the only way
|
Lord I need you
|
