Take me down to the river
Wash the dirt from my hands
I´ve been traveling so long
In this foreign land.

Please father forgive me
For I´ve lost my way
Sin runs through my body
There is poison in my veins.

Take me down the river
I´m a broken man
Push me down t the bottom
Wash me from within
Pull me up from the waters
So I can breathe again
Take me down to the river, lord
Where it all began.

Should´ve known from the start, lord
Couldn´t do it alone
I try; I try so hard, yeah
To make this place my home
So, come redemption
Please set me free
Oh, holly water now
Come cover me.

Take me down the river,
I´m a broken man
Push me down t the bottom
Wash me from within
Pull me up from the waters,
So I can breathe again
Take me down to the river, lord
Where it all began.
