Been traveling these wide roads for so long My heart's been cold For you, ten thousand miles gone Ooh, I wanna come near and give you Every part of me But this blood on my hands And my lips are unclean In my darkness I remember Mama's words: Be good to me Surrender to the good Lord And He'll wash your stains clean Take me to your river I wanna go Oh, go Take me to your river I wanna go Dip me in your smooth waters Oh, go in As a man can be crowned Come up for air As my sins roll down the Jordan Ooh, I wanna come near and give you Every part of me But this blood on my hands And my lips are unclean Take me to your river I wanna go Oh, go Take me to your river I wanna go Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know Yeah Oh, go Take me to your river I wanna go Ooh, yeah, please let me go Take me to your river I wanna go
