Down to the River Lyrics

I can tell you now
You've been feelin’ down
Just go down to the river
Down to the river
Now

You have lost your way
Starin' off in space

Just go down to the river
Down to the river
To pray

Oo-oo Oo-oo Oo-oo

I can tell you're lost
You forget to call

Just go down to the river
Down to the river
Now

Sometimes you need to pray your way
Okay?
Just get on your own and pray for a way
Poor child
Use the moon to guide ya
For a way on the road
You try to calm the river
It carries you back home

Sometimes you need to pray your way
Okay?
Just get on your own and pray your way
Poor child

Use the moon to guide ya
For a way on the road
You try to calm the river
You’ll never be alone

Go down to the river
Down to the river

Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
