Shaun Escoffery - River

I'm just a man of flesh and blood,
can't walk on water, can't hold back a flood.
I'm like a blind man, I need a touch
when life becomes, becomes too much.

Oh, that fear, a voice inside,
when it calls, I, I just can't hide.
I look above when it pulls below.
Help me, heaven, before I go under.

Oh, Lord, I wanna break free.
The river keeps risin' and I can't breathe.
Save me now from the water's reach,
throw me a lifeline
'cause the river runs, the river runs deep.
The river runs, the river runs deep, yeah.
(The river runs, the river runs deep)

Did I lose life, did life lose me?
Is what I want the figure I need?
Divine intervention will seal my fate,
give me direction to take me away
from the pain, yeah.

Oh, Lord, I wanna break free.
The river keeps risin' and I can't breathe.
Save me now from the water's reach,
throw me a lifeline
'cause the river runs, the river runs deep.
The river runs, the river runs deep.
The river runs, the river runs deep, ooh.
The river runs, the river runs deep.

I'm drownin' deeper, drownin' deeper,
(Sayin' the same thing)
gotta find my feet, gotta find my feet now.
(Sayin' the same thing)
Ooh, gotta find my feet, gotta find my feet now.
(Sayin' the same thing)
Ooh, gotta find my feet, gotta find my feet now.

Oh, Lord, I wanna break free.
The river keeps risin' and I can't breathe.
Save me now from the water's reach,
throw me a lifeline
'cause the river runs, hey...

Oh, Lord, I wanna break free.
The river keeps risin' and I can't breathe.
Save me now from the water's reach,
throw me a lifeline.
The river runs, the river runs deep, yeah.
The river runs, the river runs deep, ooh.
