Why God Made a River
We all need a place where we can go
Time slows down and the world turns slow
Feet get wet when the night gets hot, you know
You know, a place your worries won't get to
You look down, still see the moon
So dark that all that we can do is hear each other whisper
That's why God made a river
Sent these waters rushing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
Where the stars come out and you see them shine
Shimmer in the water and in your eyes
Way out here, there ain't no lights but those
While everybody else is fast asleep
No one's more awake than me
I can feel the current keep pulling us in deeper
That's why God made a river
Sent these waters rushing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
That's why God made a river
I can feel it flowing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
Makes me think of that
Black and white picture up on the shelf
Great-grandma standing with the preacher's help
Waist deep Caney Fork, 1912
'Cause we can't save ourselves
That's why God made a river
Sent these waters rushing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
That's why God made a river
Can you feel it flowing through?
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
Time slows down and the world turns slow
Feet get wet when the night gets hot, you know
You know, a place your worries won't get to
You look down, still see the moon
So dark that all that we can do is hear each other whisper
That's why God made a river
Sent these waters rushing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
Where the stars come out and you see them shine
Shimmer in the water and in your eyes
Way out here, there ain't no lights but those
While everybody else is fast asleep
No one's more awake than me
I can feel the current keep pulling us in deeper
That's why God made a river
Sent these waters rushing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
That's why God made a river
I can feel it flowing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
Makes me think of that
Black and white picture up on the shelf
Great-grandma standing with the preacher's help
Waist deep Caney Fork, 1912
'Cause we can't save ourselves
That's why God made a river
Sent these waters rushing through
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
That's why God made a river
Can you feel it flowing through?
Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, that's why God made a river
