Songtext River Jonny Lang

River

I know the river is wide, Our chances are slim
But this is where it all begins
Standing here on the shore, with just our lives
and nothing left to lose again
I know the water is crushing all around you
You're soaking wet with the threat, it just might drown you
But we both know what we gotta do

[Chorus:]
We could run, we could hide, we could stand and fight
I know the river is wide, I know the river is wide
Take my hand we're gonna walk on the water tonight
I know it's waiting, waiting on the other side

I can feel it, inside. I can see it, tonight

Girl we've been trapped on the banks, for far way to long now
And I think that we both know, the only way is to leave this solid ground now
Make a break for other shores
There's nothing we left behind worth holding on to
I'm sick of just getting by, and truth be known, you are too
Now we both know what we gotta do

[Chorus]

Can't you feel it, inside
Can't see it, tonight

Oooo
Oooo
Oooo

Girl we didn't come all this way, to turn around now
And I think it's time we both leave this hallowed ground, how about now
Take my hand baby don't turn around

We could run, we could hide, we could stand and fight
I know the river is wide, I know the river is wide
Take my hand we're gonna walk on the water tonight
Come on baby, let's walk on the water tonight

[Chorus]

I can feel it, inside. Can't you see it tonight
Can't you see it, tonight. I can feel it, tonight
