I'm Standing In This River

O’ I am standing in this river, in its waters clear and pure I am washing away my troubles until they are no more Accusations are beneath me, they’re not even worth my time I can see right through you baby, I was never born blind My vision is as clear as that water running beneath my feet There will come a day my dreams will be more than complete O’ I am standing in this river, in its waters clear and pure I am washing away my troubles until they are no more I ain’t looking backwards on the chains of folks that bind No Lordy, unlike most I was built from a different kind I’m hanging onto my own principles and I’m staying strong Time’s up, you can’t ever make me do no more wrong O’ I am standing in this river, in its waters clear and pure I am washing away my troubles until they are no more I’m heading home now, to the place I was born and bred My feet cleansed by the water so with purity I now tread With clarity in my mind and my soul once more released No stopping now until my destination has been reached O’ I am standing in this river, in its waters clear and pure I am washing away my troubles until they are no more O' yeah I’m heading home now, to the place I was born and bred My feet cleansed by the water so with purity I now tread With clarity in my mind and my soul once more released No stopping now until my destination has been reached O’ I am standing in this river, in its waters clear and pure I am washing away my troubles until they are no more . . .
