The Holy River
Prince Let's go down 2 the holy river If we drown then we'll be delivered U can still see the picture upon the wall One eye staring at nothing at all The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide U can't run from yourself and what's inside U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear So over and over U ask your soul Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold? U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told Puttin' your faith in things that only make U cry Spending your time in all the wrong places People say they love U when they wanna help But how can they when U can't help yourself? The more they say they love U, the more U just wanna die So here we go again, the self analysis Have another glass of Port and uh.. forget this The band's playin' at the club 2night and they're bound 2 groove There U are, U think U're high U can't ask yourself cuz U'd only lie If U had a dollar 4 every time U tried U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell U straight up Come and make love when U really hate 'em Relationships based on the physical are over and done They're over and done (They're over and done) U'd rather have fun Only one... one (one) With only one, with only one Who gave U life when there was none at all? And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (Ooh, oh yes) Let me tell it (Go'n) Every breath U take will make U stronger If U ask God 2 love U longer Keepin' U happy (happy) and proud 2 call His name (Go'n and say it) Jesus (Jesus) Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold? And over and over U ask your soul And this time I was listening, hear me And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told Let's go down 2 the holy river If we drown then we'll be delivered (Yes we will) If U die before U try If we don't then we'll never see the light (No) U'll have 2 come back and face the light (Oh yes) When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry (Oh my, my) I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her So I went on down 2 the holy river I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried And.. and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine And when I see that picture upon the wall The one eye staring at nothing at all Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time My eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tears Let's go down 2 the holy river Oh, yes they are Let's go down 2 the holy river |
