Ia€™m going down to the riverbank this morning
|
Way before the family is awake
|
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water
|
And spill out all my troubles for everyonea€™s sake
|
|
You cana€™t have love when you never can surrender
|
Ia€™ve been spreading around my anger like a plague
|
Ia€™ve sailed this far with my boat on fire
|
Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire
|
|
I will soak my soul
|
Let the river take control
|
Let the river take control
|
I know ita€™s not too late
|
To let go the weight
|
To let go the weight
|
|
The sun will rise and shine on me this morning
|
It will seep its way into my heart
|
And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years
|
And Ia€™ll embrace wisdom that sun will impart
|
|
And with this heat burning inside me
|
I will warm all of the people that I love
|
In their darkest of hours and weakest of minds
|
Ia€™ll light up their nights with every star I can find
|
|
I will soak my soul
|
Let the river take control
|
Let the river take control
|
I know ita€™s not too late
|
To let go the weight
|
To let go the weight
|
