Generate meaning
1
Let's go down to the holy river
2
If we drown then we'll be delivered
3
You can still see the picture upon the wall
4
One eye staring at nothing at all
5
The other one trying to focus through all your tears
6
You can try and try but there's nothin' to hide
7
You can't run from yourself and what's inside
8
You got to find the answers to the questions that you most fear
9
So over and over you ask your soul
10
Why'd you come down to a world so cold?
11
And the voice inside says, tonight the truth will be told
12
You surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
13
Spending your time in all the wrong places
14
Puttin' your faith in things that only make you cry
15
People say, they love you when they wanna help
16
But how can they when you can't help yourself?
17
The more they say they love you, the more you just wanna die
18
So here we go again, the self analysis
19
Have another glass of port and uh, forget this
20
The band's playin' at the club tonight and they're bound to groove
21
There you are, you think you're high
22
You can't ask yourself 'cuz you'd only lie
23
If you had a dollar for every time you tried
24
You can't call nobody 'cuz they'll tell you straight up
25
Come and make love when you really hate 'em
26
Relationships based on the physical are over and done
27
They're over and done
28
(They're over and done)
29
You'd rather have fun
30
With only one, with only one
31
Only one, one
32
(One)
33
And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall
34
Who gave you life when there was none at all?
35
Who gave the sun permission to rise up everyday?
36
(Ooh, oh, yes)
37
Let me tell it
38
(Go')
39
If you ask God to love you longer
40
Every breath you take will make you stronger
41
Keepin' you happy
42
(Happy)
43
And proud to call His name
44
(Go'' and say it)
45
Jesus
46
(Jesus)
47
And over and over you ask your soul
48
Why'd you come down to a world so cold?
49
And the voice inside said, tonight the truth will be told
50
And this time I was listening, hear me
51
Let's go down to the holy river
52
If we drown then we'll be delivered
53
(Yes, we will)
54
If we don't then we'll never see the light
55
(No)
56
If you die before you try
57
You'll have to come back and face the light
58
(Oh, yes)
59
When you believe it, you got a good reason to cry
60
(Oh my, my)
61
So I went on down to the holy river
62
I called my girl and told her, I had something to give her
63
I asked her to marry me and she said, yes, I cried
64
Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine
65
And, and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine
66
Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time
67
And when I see that picture upon the wall
68
The one eye staring at nothing at all
69
My eyes trying to focus but these are much different tears
70
Oh yes, they are
71
Let's go down to the holy river
72
Let's go down to the holy river
73
Let's go down to the holy river
74
Let's go down to the holy river
75
Let's go down to the holy river
76
Let's go down to the holy river
