The River in Me

The river in me moves north to south
From New York City to a Tennessee town
Carving through
Turning and changing
Finding its way through places and faces
The river in me made me pack up my things
Kicked me out of town with a crazy dream
My heart on the truth and my hands on the strings
Thinking I could change the world
The river in me knows where it’s going
It’s a little like Jesus and a little like Moses
Answers to friends come in small doses
But they’re always worth waiting for
You can’t stop the river in
You can’t stop the river
You can’t stop the river in me
The river in me has a story to tell
Grabs me by the collar
Said believe in yourself
Drove me down the highway to another hotel
Puts me on a stage to sing
The river in me knows where it’s going
It’s a little like Jesus and a little like Moses
Answers to friends come in small doses
But they’re always worth waiting for
You can’t stop the river in
You can’t stop the river
You can’t stop the river in me
Don’t care what I’ve done
Don’t care where I’ve run
It welcomes me home and your prodigal son
Tried slowing me down
Tried going around it
Oh you can say you don’t believe
But you can’t stop the river in
You can’t stop the river
You can’t stop
The river in me knows where it’s going
It’s a little like Jesus and a little like Moses
Answers to friends come in small doses
But they’re always worth waiting for
Yeah the river in me won’t stand still
No matter what terrible bridge you’ll build
Openly fired and you can’t kill
Then it’s alive and well in me
You can’t stop the river in
You can’t stop the river
You can’t stop the river in me
