Jacksoul - The River Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Looked out my window to the east this morning
  • To the east there was a big old cloud
  • This Hurricane had no name
  • But it was sure to tear house from the ground.
  • It would take children from their mammas
  • No this terror don't discriminate
  • But what's worse is the sickness it would leave behind
  • mistrust confusion and hate.
  • [pre I]
  • We all look for salvation in the seconds before the rain
  • Why not say a little prayer on any old lovely day?
  • [chorus]
  • Take me as I am. Take me to the promised land.
  • Never let me go. Never leave me lonely.
  • Take me to the river. Accompany me to heaven.
  • Every one will know that you're my one and only.
  • Little man why you play so hard,
  • Like no brother ain never gon' do nothing good?
  • It's such a shame when you act reckless
  • Like no one never found love in no hood.
  • Lord knows there are snakes in the water
  • And I've always had to fight for what's mine.
  • But I would never tell my daughter
  • Being black means going and killing my own kind.
  • [pre II]
  • I'm all about keeping it real and death is a part of life...
  • But as long as we're here walking around why we singing about trying to die?
  • [chorus]
  • (bridge)
  • It's gonna be alright
  • Just take my hand
  • We'll go together
  • No need to go far
  • What we've got right here
  • This is heaven
  • [pre II]; [chorus out]; [end].
