Gonna find me a place by the river to, call my own
I'll go there with all of my friends or, I'll go alone
Cold, cold water make ya shiver, right down to your bones
Cold, cold water cold, cold river
Won't ya please help clean my soul?
I'ma go down, and I'ma wash, all my sins away
Gonna work my hands into the ground, in the, sunshiney day
And when the world gets too hot and I need to cool down
Gonna take me a dip into the river and let my worries drown
Take me to the river of my heart
Take me to the river of my soul
Wake me, I'm ready to play my part
Wake me, to the one I am the one I am
The Whole
Gonna find me a little patch of grass, where I can build a house
Somewhere nice and quiet, as quiet as a mouse
I can see it clearly in my mind, somewhere behind my eyes
And through my work, here and now visions being realized
I'm goin out to the river, goin to the sticks
Can't say how long I'll be gone, I can't say that I'll be quick
But if you'd like you can come and find me I ain't got no need to hide
I'll be a singing, swimming, dancing working on down by the riverside
Take me to the river of my heart
Take me to the river of my soul
Wake me, I'm ready to play my part
Wake me, to the one I am the one I am
The Whole
Nothing to control
