I'm a River (Live)
There's a valley not far from here
Beyond the dam where all the water runs real clear
You'll find everything you've been looking for
There was a time when I could offer you much more
Would you believe it if ever you were told
Once I was worth more than my weight in gold
Where dreams and promises once flowed with such grace
Have all been washed up and dried on these banks
You'd run into me and I'd save your life
I'd have you singing I saw the light
But I'm a river full of heart ache that you'll never swim
Take one step closer and I'll pull you in
I've seen trouble and I've seen pain
I got beat by the sun and I have drowned in the rain
I've found it hard to look straight ahead
All I've wanted lies on this riverbed
It's the gospel I heard a man say
You can't get back what you don't give away
So with every seed I've sewn and love I've made stay
Lord knows that I'm ready for the levy to give way
Beyond the dam where all the water runs real clear
You'll find everything you've been looking for
There was a time when I could offer you much more
Would you believe it if ever you were told
Once I was worth more than my weight in gold
Where dreams and promises once flowed with such grace
Have all been washed up and dried on these banks
You'd run into me and I'd save your life
I'd have you singing I saw the light
But I'm a river full of heart ache that you'll never swim
Take one step closer and I'll pull you in
I've seen trouble and I've seen pain
I got beat by the sun and I have drowned in the rain
I've found it hard to look straight ahead
All I've wanted lies on this riverbed
It's the gospel I heard a man say
You can't get back what you don't give away
So with every seed I've sewn and love I've made stay
Lord knows that I'm ready for the levy to give way
