You keep closing your eyes
|
Trying to ignore it
|
Hoping it'll disappear
|
Face to face with your own Goliath
|
At least that's how it looks from here
|
All the stones you can throw
|
Won't scare it away
|
|
And pacing back and forth
|
Trying to think of something
|
To get you to the other side
|
The path of your fear
|
Runs in all directions
|
When you're looking for a place to hide
|
But you know the one you've
|
gotta take
|
|
[Chorus]
|
There's no way around a river, baby
|
Wade on in the deep
|
And when you can't go any further
|
Hold on to me
|
And if it pulls you under
|
I'll be there too
|
There's no way around a river, baby
|
It's just something you've gotta
|
go through
|
|
The troubles you face
|
The wounds you're protecting
|
The sins that you wrestle with
|
We all have our share we'd like to
|
get over
|
Sometimes there's just no bridge
|
And the very thing that makes
|
us afraid
|
Is just what we need to wash it away
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
That's the way it is
|
So just wade on in
|
I'll see you on the other side
|
No way around it
|
No way around a river, baby
|
Wade on in, wade on in
|
|
And if it pulls you under
|
I'll be there too
|
There's no way around a river, baby
|
It's just something you've gotta go through
|
Oh yes it is, yes it is
|
Oh, no way around it
|
No way around a river, baby
|
Wade on in, wade on in - yeah
|
