The River (Remaster) - jacksoul[00:00:00]
Written by:Haydain Neale/Adrian Eccleston/Curtis Richardson[00:00:01]
Looked out my window this morning[00:00:10]
To the east there was a big dark cloud[00:00:14]
This hurricane was approaching[00:00:20]
And it was sure to tear a house from the ground[00:00:24]
It would take children from their mammas[00:00:30]
No this terror don't discriminate[00:00:34]
But what's worse is the sickness it would leave behind[00:00:39]
Distrust mass confusion and hate[00:00:44]
We all look for salvation in the seconds before the rain[00:00:51]
Why not say a little prayer on any old sunny day[00:01:01]
Take me as I am[00:01:09]
Take me to the promised land[00:01:11]
Never let me go[00:01:14]
Never leave me lonely[00:01:16]
Take me to the river[00:01:19]
Accompany me to heaven[00:01:21]
Every one will know that you're my one and only[00:01:23]
Little man why you play so hard[00:01:30]
Like no brother ain't never going do nothing good[00:01:34]
It's a shame when you act reckless[00:01:41]
Like no one never found love in no hood[00:01:44]
Lord knows there are snakes in the water[00:01:50]
And I've always had to fight for what's mine[00:01:54]
But I would never tell my daughter[00:02:00]
That being black means going and killing my own kind[00:02:04]
I'm all about keeping it real and death is a part of life[00:02:11]
Listen to me what I say[00:02:18]
But as long as we're here walking around[00:02:21]
Why we singing about trying to die[00:02:24]
Take me as I am[00:02:28]
Take me to the promised land[00:02:31]
Never let me go[00:02:33]
Never leave me lonely[00:02:36]
Take me to the river[00:02:38]
Accompany me to heaven[00:02:41]
Every one will know that you're my one and only[00:02:43]
It's gonna be alright[00:02:51]
Just take my hand[00:02:53]
We'll go together[00:02:56]
No need to go far[00:03:01]
What we've got right here[00:03:03]
This is heaven[00:03:06]
I'm all about keeping it real and death is a part of life[00:03:11]
But as long as we're here walking around[00:03:21]
Why we singing about trying to die[00:03:24]
Take me as I am[00:03:29]
Take me to the promised land[00:03:31]
Never let me go[00:03:33]
Never leave me lonely[00:03:36]
Take me to the river[00:03:38]
Accompany me to heaven[00:03:41]
Every one will know that you're my one and only[00:03:43]
Take me as I am[00:03:48]
Take me to the promised land[00:03:51]
Never let me go[00:03:53]
Never leave me lonely[00:03:56]
Take me to the river[00:03:58]
Accompany me to heaven[00:04:01]
Every one will know that you're my one and only[00:04:03]
Take me as I am[00:04:08]
Take me to the promised land[00:04:11]
Never let me go[00:04:13]
Never leave me lonely[00:04:16]
Take me to the river[00:04:18]
Accompany me to heaven[00:04:21]
Every one will know that you're my one and only[00:04:23]
