Walk on Down (to the River)

I woke up this morning, and I opened up my eyes.
And I saw nothing but these four gray walls.
Couldn?t hear the birds singing. I was too busy thinking.
That I had nothing, no nothing, nothing at all.

My mind was full of things I was tired of thinking of.
Seems I was backing up against that old brick wall.
If I kept on waking up like my head just couldn?t ache enough.
Then is just wasn?t worth waking up at all.

So I?m gonna walk on down to the river
Brothers and sisters come by my side.
I?m gonna bury that old life under the water.
And come up a shining new bride.

They say You can help me, help me belong.
To something more special than I?ve ever known.
Gotta believe, believe in You.
And my body will be Your home.

So I?m gonna walk on down to the river
Brothers and sisters come by my side.
I?m gonna bury that old life under the water.
And come up a shining new bride

So won?t you walk on down to the river
I?ll be right there by your side.
We can gonna bury that old life under the water.
And come up a shining new bride
