Prince - The Holy River Lyrics
Lets go down 2 the holy riverIf we drown then well be deliveredU can still see the picture upon the wallOne eye staring at nothing at allThe other one trying 2 focus through all your tearsU can try and try but theres nothin 2 hideU cant run from yourself and whats insideU got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that u most fearSo over and over u ask your soulWhyd u come down 2 a world so cold?And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be toldU surrounded yourself with all the wrong facesSpending your time in all the wrong placesPuttin your faith in things that only make u cryPeople say they love u when they wanna helpBut how can they when u cant help yourself?The more they say they love u, the more u just wanna dieSo here we go again, the self analysisHave another glass of port and uh.. forget thisThe bands playin at the club 2night and theyre bound 2 grooveThere u are, u think ure highU cant ask yourself cuz ud only lieIf u had a dollar 4 every time u triedU cant call nobody cuz theyll tell u straight upCome and make love when u really hate emRelationships based on the physical are over and doneTheyre over and done (theyre over and done)Ud rather have funWith only one, with only oneOnly one... one (one)And then it hit cha like a fist on a wallWho gave u life when there was none at all?Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (ooh, oh yes)Let me tell it (gon)If u ask God 2 love u longerEvery breath u take will make u strongerKeepin u happy (happy) and proud 2 call his name (gon and say it)Jesus (jesus)And over and over u ask your soulWhyd u come down 2 a world so cold?And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be toldAnd this time I was listening, hear meLets go down 2 the holy riverIf we drown then well be delivered (yes we will)If we dont then well never see the light (no)If u die before u tryUll have 2 come back and face the light (oh yes)When u believe it, u got a good reason 2 cry (oh my, my)So I went on down 2 the holy riverI called my girl and told her I had something 2 give herI asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I criedOh, that night I drowned in her tears and mineAnd.. and instead of a glass of sorrow and wineLooking back yall, I dont miss nothing except the timeAnd when I see that picture upon the wallThe one eye staring at nothing at allMy eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tearsOh, yes they areLets go down 2 the holy river {x3}Lets go down 2 the holy river {x3}
