I seem to force my way the path just ain't as clear this day
And I've been walking for miles and miles and miles
Momma didn't raise this way, to act like such a child

I need you to cleanse this heart of mine

I need a place to wash my hands of all these things I've done
A place to clean my sins and everything that I've done wrong
Put it all on the line again the water is calling me in
Ohhhh oh oh take me to the river

The dirt is on my hands
The verdicts out and I'm the guilty man
Gotta thirst I'm finding deep inside my bones
Let the water rise, let the water rise

I need a place to wash my hands of all
These things I've done
A place to clean my sins and everything that I've done wrong
Put it all on the line again the water is calling me in
Ohhhh oh oh take me to the river

Oh love again, oh love again, oh love again
Oh love again, oh love again, oh love again

I need a place to wash my hands of all
These things I've done
A place to clean my sins and everything that I've done wrong
I put it all on the line again the water is calling me in
Ohhhh oh oh take me to the river
