Prince - The Holy River lyrics
Let's go down 2 the holy river If we drown then we'll be delivered U can still see the picture upon the wall One eye staring at nothing at all The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide U can't run from yourself and what's inside U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear So over and over U ask your soul Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold? And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces Spending your time in all the wrong places Puttin' your faith in things that only make U cry People say they love U when they wanna help But how can they when U can't help yourself? The more they say they love U, the more U just wanna die So here we go again, the self analysis Have another glass of Port and uh.. forget this The band's playin' at the club 2night and they're bound 2 groove There U are, U think U're high U can't ask yourself cuz U'd only lie If U had a dollar 4 every time U tried U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell U straight up Come and make love when U really hate 'em Relationships based on the physical are over and done They're over and done (They're over and done) U'd rather have fun With only one, with only one Only one... one (one) And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall Who gave U life when there was none at all? Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (Ooh, oh yes) Let me tell it (Go'n) If U ask God 2 love U longer Every breath U take will make U stronger Keepin' U happy (happy) and proud 2 call His name (Go'n and say it) Jesus (Jesus) And over and over U ask your soul Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold? And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told And this time I was listening, hear me Let's go down 2 the holy river If we drown then we'll be delivered (Yes we will) If we don't then we'll never see the light (No) If U die before U try U'll have 2 come back and face the light (Oh yes) When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry (Oh my, my) So I went on down 2 the holy river I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine And.. and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time And when I see that picture upon the wall The one eye staring at nothing at all My eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tears Oh, yes they are Let's go down 2 the holy river {x3} Let's go down 2 the holy river {x3} (c) 1996 Emancipation Music - ASCAP |
