River Rise

India.Arie

There was always 
A power I could feel 
It was guidance to tell me the way to go 

But nowadays I feel like can't hear that voice 
I've been flying blind 
I need you to come and be my eyes. (be my eyes) 

River Rise 
Carry me back home 
(I cannot remember the way) 
River rise 
Carry me back home 
(I surrender today) 

I was always 
A charmed flower child 
I would sit for hours 
And listen to the sky 

But nowadays I feel like I don't have that choice 
I've been looking down in desperation 
I need you to be my inspiration yeah 
(My inspiration) 

River rise 
Carry me back home 
(I cannot remember the way) 
River rise 
Carry me back home 
(I surrender today) 

I bow down 
And I humble myself 
I can't do this 
Lord I need your help 
All the material things 
They feel like chains 
If you're not here beside me 
You're the reason I see 

(Help me to remember the way) 
I surrender 

Help me to remember 
Only you can show me 
(Only you can show me the way) 
I surrender 
(I surrender today) 
You are the only way 
Lord, I need you.
