Verse:
Sun in my eyes
River at my side
So many heartbreaks
I’ve let go of in my life
To the spirit of this river
The waters ever new
So I keep coming back
Coming back to you
Chorus:
Oh river, roll it away from me
From withholding to as far as the eye can see
There are just some things I can’t lay down
Without your steady grace and your mighty sound
Oh river, roll it away from me
