Colin Cutler - Run to the River

Run to the River

Verse
That river is wide, that river is deep,
It's got a long way to run
Before it rolls into the sea.

I hear paradise is far away,
But I'll follow its call
Down to the river to pray.

Chorus
Is it wide, is it deep enough to wash my sins away?
I don't know, but I still go
To the river to pray.

Verse
The city lights imitate the stars
And drown them in the void
Behind the neon signs and bars.

My faithful feet, they never strayed,
But led me down to join them,
Down to the river to pray.

Chorus

Verse
I stopped by a farm where I'd had kin.
There weren't nothing there but a tarpaper shack
And pig in the pen.

That pig got out, chased me down the lane,
And I ran, yes I ran
Down to the river to pray.

Chorus
