[00:00:00] The River (Remaster) - jacksoul

[00:00:01] Written by：Haydain Neale/Adrian Eccleston/Curtis Richardson

[00:00:10] Looked out my window this morning

[00:00:14] To the east there was a big dark cloud

[00:00:20] This hurricane was approaching

[00:00:24] And it was sure to tear a house from the ground

[00:00:30] It would take children from their mammas

[00:00:34] No this terror don't discriminate

[00:00:39] But what's worse is the sickness it would leave behind

[00:00:44] Distrust mass confusion and hate

[00:00:51] We all look for salvation in the seconds before the rain

[00:01:01] Why not say a little prayer on any old sunny day

[00:01:09] Take me as I am

[00:01:11] Take me to the promised land

[00:01:14] Never let me go

[00:01:16] Never leave me lonely

[00:01:19] Take me to the river

[00:01:21] Accompany me to heaven

[00:01:23] Every one will know that you're my one and only

[00:01:30] Little man why you play so hard

[00:01:34] Like no brother ain't never going do nothing good

[00:01:41] It's a shame when you act reckless

[00:01:44] Like no one never found love in no hood

[00:01:50] Lord knows there are snakes in the water

[00:01:54] And I've always had to fight for what's mine

[00:02:00] But I would never tell my daughter

[00:02:04] That being black means going and killing my own kind

[00:02:11] I'm all about keeping it real and death is a part of life

[00:02:18] Listen to me what I say

[00:02:21] But as long as we're here walking around

[00:02:24] Why we singing about trying to die

[00:02:28] Take me as I am

[00:02:31] Take me to the promised land

[00:02:33] Never let me go

[00:02:36] Never leave me lonely

[00:02:38] Take me to the river

[00:02:41] Accompany me to heaven

[00:02:43] Every one will know that you're my one and only

[00:02:51] It's gonna be alright

[00:02:53] Just take my hand

[00:02:56] We'll go together

[00:03:01] No need to go far

[00:03:03] What we've got right here

[00:03:06] This is heaven

[00:03:11] I'm all about keeping it real and death is a part of life

[00:03:21] But as long as we're here walking around

[00:03:24] Why we singing about trying to die

[00:03:29] Take me as I am

[00:03:31] Take me to the promised land

[00:03:33] Never let me go

[00:03:36] Never leave me lonely

[00:03:38] Take me to the river

[00:03:41] Accompany me to heaven

[00:03:43] Every one will know that you're my one and only

[00:03:48] Take me as I am

[00:03:51] Take me to the promised land

[00:03:53] Never let me go

[00:03:56] Never leave me lonely

[00:03:58] Take me to the river

[00:04:01] Accompany me to heaven

[00:04:03] Every one will know that you're my one and only

[00:04:08] Take me as I am

[00:04:11] Take me to the promised land

[00:04:13] Never let me go

[00:04:16] Never leave me lonely

[00:04:18] Take me to the river

[00:04:21] Accompany me to heaven

[00:04:23] Every one will know that you're my one and only
