This River 

Lyrics 

music & lyrics by JJ Grey 

I stare at a picture but there's nothing for it 

I pull on the bottle and watch this river roll on by 

Trying to find purpose trying to see meaning 

Trying to make sense of the nonsense that I've called my life 

But only this river can bear me to safety 

Only this river can bear me away 

See them all work and play there on the other bank 

Warm in their houses while I face my cold alone 

Guess I've been drinking away to keep the wolves of my mind at bay 

but if you run you die I'm just too tired to care 

Cause only this river can bear me to safety 

Only this river can bear me away 

I feel Her flowing, flowing right through me 

I hear Her whispers drowning my words 

Only this river can save me from myself 

Where did my soul go? 

Where did my spirit hide? 

Why won't they rescue me from the pain in my mind? 

Only this river in all of Her glory 

Only this river can bear me away 

Only this river
