[00:02.27] Let's go down 2 the holy river
[00:09.91] If we drown then we'll be delivered
[00:17.13] U can still see the picture upon the wall
[00:21.15] One eye staring at nothing at all
[00:25.04] The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears
[00:32.31] U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide
[00:36.08] U can't run from yourself and what's inside
[00:39.91] U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear
[00:47.44] So over and over U ask your soul
[00:51.32] Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
[00:55.05] And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told
[01:02.41] U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
[01:06.24] Spending your time in all the wrong places
[01:10.11] Puttin' your faith in things that only make U cry
[01:17.72] People say they love U when they wanna help
[01:21.42] But how can they when U can't help yourself?
[01:25.22] The more they say they love U, the more U just wanna die
[01:32.78] So here we go again, the self analysis
[01:36.61] Have another glass of Port and uh.. forget this
[01:40.38] The band's playin' at the club 2night and they're bound 2 groove
[01:48.14] There U are, U think U're high
[01:51.67] U can't ask yourself cuz U'd only lie
[01:55.64] If U had a dollar 4 every time U tried
[02:03.13] U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell U straight up
[02:06.84] Come and make love when U really hate 'em
[02:10.59] Relationships based on the physical are over and done
[02:17.20] They're over and done (They're over and done)
[02:24.76] U'd rather have fun
[02:28.85] With only one, with only one
[02:36.52] Only one... one (one)
[02:48.44] And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall
[02:52.31] Who gave U life when there was none at all?
[02:56.08] Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (Ooh, oh yes)
[03:02.13] Let me tell it (Go'n)
[03:03.77] If U ask God 2 love U longer
[03:07.36] Every breath U take will make U stronger
[03:11.33] Keepin' U happy (happy) and proud 2 call His name (Go'n and say it)
[03:16.73] Jesus (Jesus)
[03:18.59] And over and over U ask your soul
[03:22.51] Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
[03:26.25] And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told
[03:31.67] And this time I was listening, hear me
[03:34.01] Let's go down 2 the holy river
[03:37.71] If we drown then we'll be delivered (Yes we will)
[03:41.50] If we don't then we'll never see the light (No)
[03:49.05] If U die before U try
[03:52.65] U'll have 2 come back and face the light (Oh yes)
[03:56.67] When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry (Oh my, my)
[04:04.01] So I went on down 2 the holy river
[04:07.84] I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her
[04:11.59] I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried
[04:18.79] Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine
[04:22.58] And.. and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine
[04:26.56] Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time
[04:33.66] And when I see that picture upon the wall
[04:37.75] The one eye staring at nothing at all
[04:41.76] My eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tears
[04:47.80] Oh, yes they are
[04:49.62] Let's go down 2 the holy river
[05:42.94] Let's go down 2 the holy river
