Down to the River
Jean Beauvoir
There's no rest for me
I move on
And though I feel weak
I feel strong
And my heart starts beating stronger
As the evil makes his way
To the core of my existence
And keeps all the good away
Chorus
Going down to the river
Where I'll wash these blues away
Going down to the river
For my soul to find it's way
Going down to the river
To fulfill these empty days
Down to the river my way
Raise my hands for peace
It's not there
And though I feel I'm melting
I'm aware
But the days keep getting longer
As I'm searching for the truth
That will lead to my survival
From my past and tainted youth
Chorus
Go on sentence me, for my wrong
Then what's left of me, will keep holding on
And on, on, on
