The Holy River

[00:03.99] Let's go down to the holy river

[00:11.43] If we drown then we'll be delivered

[00:18.59] You can still see the picture upon the wall

[00:22.84] One eye staring at nothin' at all

[00:26.56] The other one trying to focus through all your tears

[00:33.74] You can try and try but there's nothin' to hide

[00:37.45] You can't run from yourself and what's inside

[00:41.71] You got to find the answers to the questions that you most fear

[00:49.14] So over and over you ask your soul

[00:53.12] Why'd you come down to a world so cold?

[00:56.84] And the voice inside says tonight the truth will be told

[01:04.18] You surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces

[01:08.17] Spending your time in all the wrong places

[01:11.89] Putting your faith in things that only make you cry

[01:19.60] People say they love you when they want to help

[01:23.32] But how can they when you can't help yourself?

[01:27.04] The more they say they love you, the more you just want to die

[01:34.65] There you are, you think you're high

[01:38.37] You can't ask yourself because you'd only lie

[01:42.36] If you had a dollar for every time you tried

[01:49.43] And then it hit you like a fist on a wall

[01:53.42] Who gave you life when there was none at all?

[01:57.32] Who gave the sun permission to rise up everyday? (Ooh, oh yes)

[02:03.35] Let me tell it (Go on)

[02:04.92] If you ask God to love you longer

[02:08.64] Every breath you take will make you stronger

[02:12.62] Keeping you happy (Happy) and proud to call his name (Go on and say it)

[02:17.96] Jesus (Jesus)

[02:19.97] So over and over you ask your soul

[02:23.96] Why'd you come down to a world so cold?

[02:27.41] And the voice inside says tonight the truth will be told

[02:32.63] And this time I was listening, hear me

[02:35.30] Let's go down to the holy river

[02:39.02] If we drown then we'll be delivered (Yes we will)

[02:42.64] If we don't then we'll never see the light (No)

[02:50.33] If you die before you try

[02:54.06] You'll have to come back and face the light (Oh yes)

[02:58.04] When you believe it, you got a good reason to cry (Oh my, my)

[03:05.38] So I went on down to the holy river

[03:09.01] I called my girl and told her I had something to give her

[03:12.72] I asked her to marry me and she said yes, I cried

[03:20.06] Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine

[03:23.78] And instead of a glass of sorrow and wine

[03:27.77] Looking back you all, I don't miss nothing except the time

[03:35.09] And when I see that picture upon the wall

[03:38.98] The one eye staring at nothing at all

[03:43.23] My eyes trying to focus but these are much different tears

[03:49.07] Oh, yes they are

[03:50.79] Let's go down to the holy river

[03:54.51] Let's go down to the holy river

[03:58.50] Let's go down to the holy river
