Songtext
Well the water comes down
From the higher ground
And it's carrying the sin of man
We can't help but get thirsty
Down here where the river is damned
They say good things they happen up river
They say the river it can wash a man clean
Down here the water's just dirty
You can try but it's hard to get up from down stream
But I'll try again
I'll paddle up this river of sin
I'll send up a broken amen
Yeah I'll swallow some pride
But I won't be denied
Cause I'll try again and again
If I had a boat for this river
I'd find out just what it all means
Go see all those used to be heathens
Come up from the water washed clean
And I'd wash my own sin in that river
But I wonder how much more it can bear
It must be so full of misdoing and shame
I can't see the bottom from here
But I'll try again
I'll paddle up this river of sin
I'll send up a broken amen
Yeah I'll swallow some pride
But I won't be denied
Cause I'll try again and again
Well the water comes down
From the higher ground
And it's carrying the sin of man
We can't help but get thirsty
Down here where the river is damned
But I'll try again
I'll paddle up this river of sin
I'll strip down to nothing and swim
Yeah I'll swallow some pride
But I won't be denied
Cause I'll try again and again
Well I'm going to try again and again
