The River

How many times have you forgiven?
The  scars have healed but they can't be hidden on you
All  the pain and shame that's been left behind
When you close your eyes it'll never be right
The light still shines over me and you

This  I know
This  I know

He sold you down the river
He  sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No  tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door

So dry your eyes, you gotta keep on moving
These streets I know are paved with new beginnings‚ it's true
The lights above watch you walk below
Illuminate your heart and the way back home
Sister take a breath‚ you're made of so much more

Then you know
This I know

He sold you down the river
He sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door
I'm glad you closed the door
Ooh-ohh
I'm glad you closed the door
I'm glad you closed the door
I'm glad you closed the door
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door

This I know
I'm glad you closed the door
This I know

He sold you down the river
He sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door

He sold you down the river
He sold you down the river
He sold you out for sure
How many times forgiven?
It's no life unless you're living
No tears no more
I'm glad you closed the door
