spent my time here just holding on Afraid to let go, the weight's swinging in my soul No time for shaking this heavy load Before I take myself down, sinking like a stone Gotta get myself together Gotta wash my body clean If I try to live forever Gonna be the death of me 'Cause a ghost is in the water And it's haunted by the future Gotta leave himself to nature Gotta take me to the sea Let me be a river Won't you carry me? I can hear you calling me Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere Be a river Won't you carry me? I can hear you calling me Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere (Be a river Won't you carry me? I can hear you calling me) I'm going down with the waterfall Heading to places they haven't made a record for Keep on the good side of every law Nowhere to hide, no horizon, nowhere to go Sometimes I feel you with me Sometimes I go alone Sometimes you give your blessing Sometimes I feel the love That river gonna take me there That river gonna take me there That river gonna take me there Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there That river gonna take me there That river gonna take me there That river gonna take me there Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there Let me be a river Won't you carry me? I can hear you calling me Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere Be a river Won't you carry me? I can hear you calling me Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere Be a river Won't you carry me? I can hear you calling me Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere Be a river Won't you carry me? I can hear you calling me Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
