Down By the River

Down by the River

Footprints lead the way

Into the water

Into the water

Ease they tired souls

Healing their hearts and minds

In a spiritual

In a spiritual

Healing their hearts and minds in a spiritual

Singing I wanna, I wanna be free

I wanna be free, I wanna be free

Singing I wanna, I wanna be free

I wanna be free, I wanna be free

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, for Blessing me

Down by the River

Shackles are broken

On smooth stones, a thousand years old

I'm finally free, yeah, yeah

It's time to get to know me, yeah

A little bit better, yeah, yeah

Healing my heart and soul

In a spiritual

Singing I wanna, I wanna be free

I wanna be free, I wanna be free

Singing I wanna, I wanna be free

I wanna be free

I wanna be free

Thank you Lord

I thank you Lord

Thank you Lord

I thank you Lord for Blessing me

Take me to the river now, river now, river now

Take me to the river

Take me to the river now, river now, river now

Take me to the river

Take me to the river now, river now, river now

Take me to the river

Take me to the river now, river now, river now

Take me to the River

Take me to the river now, river now, river now

Take me to the River
