The River

How many times have you forgiven?
The scars have healed but they can't be hidden on you
All the pain and shame that's been left behind
When you close your eyes it'll never be right
The light still shines over me and you
This I know
This I know
He sold you down the river
He sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door
So dry your eyes, you gotta keep on moving
These streets I know are paved with new beginnings, it's true
The lights above watch you walk below
Illuminate your heart and the way back home
Sister take a breath, you're made of so much more
Then you know
This I know
He sold you down the river
He sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door
I'm glad you closed the door
Ooh-ohh
I'm glad you closed the door
I'm glad you closed the door
I'm glad you closed the door
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door
This I know
I'm glad you closed the door
This I know
He sold you down the river
He sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door
He sold you down the river
He sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door
