A man can be destroyed but
|
Not defeated
|
Even when he's lying black and blue
|
Living on a faith above his ceiling
|
Never going to know if it rings true
|
|
There¡¯s a voice inside that keeps him
|
On the path of righteousness
|
You can't break his stride
|
Or change his mind
|
'cause he won't second guess
|
|
I don't want to hear you say
|
You will never change your ways
|
Cause you know it's hard to tell
|
When the river swells
|
Will you wash away?
|
|
Running to the end of expectation
|
Ready for the moment to arrive
|
But the wicked world just keeps you
|
Waiting baby it can bury you alive
|
|
You need something more to rest
|
Assured or else your faith will die
|
Like an anchor to the river floor
|
When the crushing waters rise
|
|
I don't want to hear you say
|
You will never change your ways
|
'cause you know it's hard to tell
|
When the river swells
|
Will you wash away?
|
Will you wash away?
|
|
Hear the restless river rise
|
Sheer white waters causing compromise
|
Doubting eyes, changing minds
|
For everyone there comes a time
|
Will you wash away?
|
|
Going back on all your allegations
|
Once saw enough you changed your tune
|
Write your way out of the situation
|
You've got to do what
|
You have got to do
|
|
I don't want to hear you say
|
You will never change your ways
|
Cause we know it's hard to tell
|
When the river swells
|
Will you wash away?
|
