River Alive şarkı sözleri

They say in Louisiana You can sink into the sand So they try to keep the water Diverted from the land When you go to hold a river And it won't be held It's the nature of a river To flow where it falls and it will Now I've got these emotions That I've never ever felt The gate I didn't open I guess I wasn't ready yet Now I feel like that river The levee's gonna go Can't hold it back forever I'm swollen, the river must flow I no longer need what I thought I did I no longer need a wall around me My waters run deep The current is filled With life overflowing Who knows where we're going Here on this river alive I've always loved the water Oh the gently falling rain Such a natural reminder We're forgiven once again And I cry like a baby As it falls on my face It's for rain that I'm praying To fall on the whole human race
