River Alive Lyrics - Singles - Tomlinson Michael

They say in Louisiana 

You can sink into the sand 

So they try to keep the water 

Diverted from the land 

When you go to hold a river 

And it won't be held 

It's the nature of a river 

To flow where it falls and it will 

Now I've got these emotions 

That I've never ever felt 

The gate I didn't open 

I guess I wasn't ready yet 

Now I feel like that river 

The levee's gonna go 

Can't hold it back forever 

I'm swollen, the river must flow 

I no longer need what I thought I did 

I no longer need a wall around me 

My waters run deep 

The current is filled 

With life overflowing 

Who knows where we're going 

Here on this river alive 

I've always loved the water 

Oh the gently falling rain 

Such a natural reminder 

We're forgiven once again 

And I cry like a baby 

As it falls on my face 

It's for rain that I'm praying 

To fall on the whole human race
