Oh Please don't bring
The pain against me, Lord oh
Oh please give me
More time to get it together
The river takes as it wants
The silt, the clay, the sand, and more, with me can't resist the pull
It takes me to the delta, wide open sea
It takes me to the place, the place I don't want to be
That's why Im sayin
Please don't bring
The pain against me, Lord oh
Oh please give me
More time to get it together
Man puts up dams and bridges, roads and rails, to evade the flow, yeah
But the rains come down to take it all away
If my head goes under the water
I'll pray I'll reach the muddy shore
But if I get pulled down and lose the light
I pray I do drown quick
Oh Please don't bring
The pain against me, Lord oh
Oh please give me
More time to get it together
Oh Please don't bring
The pain against me, Lord oh
Oh please give me
More time to get it together
