River Devotional - Shane Malone

River Devotional LRC歌词

作词 : Shane Malone 作曲 : Shane Malone Mama, take me down to the waterfall Oh, mama, take me down to the waterfall Oh, wash my skin Give me faith The courage to go another day Oh, mama, take me down Take me down 'Cause it keeps on coming 'round Oh the sentiments like sediments Keep spinning in this oversaturated water Granules compromising my vision Salt water corrosion and emotional fission When I get to thinking too much About the different ways I float And the rip currents dragging me out to sea Chasing a parallel that's more likely to calm my tummy The waves need to soften Doing too much too often But I can't stop because Like a river, it ebbs and flows Never-ending, it goes and goes Through you, and through me Generations and dynasties Oh, sediments never really settle after all If you drop a rose in the mouth of the Hudson Imagine all the sights and the trains and the buses that it passes by Soaking up so much more than water in its delicate folds On its way out to sea, it's all about perspective Looking up it's beautiful But every other angle is a sloshy, murky nightmare Loch Ness would attest that at times it's best To look forward and block out the rest Like a river, it ebbs and flows Never-ending, it goes and goes Through you, and through me Generations and dynasties Oh, sediments never really settle after all I will try to keep you afloat My head's bobbing under and my breathing is starting to slow but I will grab your arm and lift you up I don't want to pull you down So I will let you go Mama, take me down to the waterfall Oh, mama, take me down to the waterfall Oh, wash my skin Give me faith The courage to go another day Oh, mama, take me down Take me down 'Cause it keeps on coming 'round
