River's Rising

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

No relief from the risin' tide

Somethin' in the way of the world has changed

Broken apart and rearranged



And the river's risin'

Rain keeps pourin' down

And the river's risin'

Oh, take me to a higher ground



Not too little and much too late

Courting disaster and tempting fate

Goin' against all natural laws

Putting effect before the cause



And the river's risin'

Rain keeps pourin' down

And the river's risin'

Oh, take me to a higher ground



When will I see the sun shine again?

When will this darkness come to an end?

Watchin' and waitin', the flood waters rise

I can't believe what's before my eyes



And the river's risin'

Rain keeps pourin' down

And the river's risin'

Oh, take me to a higher ground
