River's Gonna Rise Lyrics - Singles - David & David

God ain't in his heaven, something ain't right 

I hear church bells ringing in the middle of the night 

They're dragging a man by his insides 

Through the broad daylight 

Thieves have their season sure but it's getting on midnight 

And the river's gonna rise, it's gonna rise 

There'll be dancing in the street when the river done rise 

Cold wind is blowing, flags flapping much too slow 

The monkey men sell paradise to the girls from tupelo 

Black shirted boys in the badlands play machine gun rodeo 

The downtown missions packed too tight with folks that got nowhere to go 

But the river's gonna rise, it's gonna rise 

And there'll be dancing in the street when the river done rise
