I'm knee-deep in the river
And all I smell is blood
But I don't mind pretending
In this never-ending flood
You can't take my burdens (Lord)
Lord, if you hear me
I'm done, take me home
I'm neck-deep in the river
My body starts to shake
My spirit starts to shiver
As my soul begins to wake
And I won't fear the reaper (Lord)
If you don't fear him either (Lord)
Lord, if you hear me
I'm done, take me home
Lord, if you hear me
I'm done, take me home
I won't fear the reaper
If you don't fear him either
All my prayers are secrets
But this one here's a keeper
No one can stop the river
Lord, if you hear me
I'm done, take me home
Lord, if you hear me
I'm done, take me home
