Been travelling these wide roads for so long

My heart's been far from you

10 000 Miles gone

Oh, I wanna come near and give you

Every part of me

But there is blood on my hands

And my lips are unclean

In my darkness I remember

Momma's word reoccur to me

Surrender to the good lord

And he’ll wipe your slate clean

Take me to your river

I wanna go

Take me to your river

I wanna know

Dip me in your smooth water

I go in

As a man with many crimes

Come up for air

As my sins flow down the jordan

Oh, I wanna come near and give ya

Every part of me

But there's blood on my hands

And my lips aren’t clean

Take me to your river

I wanna go

Go on

Take me to your river

I wanna know

I wanna go wanna go wanna go

I wanna know wanna know wanna know

Wanna go wanna go wanna go

Wanna know wanna know wanna know

Wanna go wanna go wanna go

Wanna know wanna know wanna know

Take me to your river

I wanna go

Lord please let me know

Take me to your river

I wanna know
