Take me to the river,
Right beyond the mountainside,
Take me to the river,
To where both love and peace collide,
Take me to the river,
Free me from this ball and chain,
Take me to the river,
To liberate this life from pain
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when you’re weary
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when your throat is dry,
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when you’re teary,
Walk on, walk on, walk on, you feel like you’re gonna die,
Been a slave for far too long and I know not what I’m looking for,
The broken chains fall from my hands, my waste, my feet and from my heart,
Been a slave for far too long and I know not what I’m looking for,
The broken chains fall from my hands, my waste, my feet and from my heart,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees
Take me to the river,
Right beyond the mountainside,
Take me to the river,
To where both love and peace collide,
Take me to the river,
Free me from this ball and chain,
Take me to the river,
To liberate this life from pain
Take us to the river,
Right beyond the mountainside,
Take us to the river,
To where both love and peace collide,
Take us to the river,
Free us from this ball and chain,
Take us to the river,
To liberate this life from pain
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when you’re weary
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when your throat is dry,
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when you’re teary,
Walk on, walk on, walk on, you feel like you’re gonna die,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees,
Take us to the river please, we’re begging now on our bended knees
Bridge:
Walk on, walk on, walk on,
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when your throat is dry,
Walk on, walk on, walk on, when you’re teary,
Walk on, walk on, walk on, just look up to the sky,
Take me to the river,
Free me from this ball and chain,
Take me to the river,
To liberate this life from pain
