lyrics

Down by the river
Don’t you hold me down
Don’t you hold me down
No more
I’ve got my lover
I ain’t gonna drown
I am gonna swim
For shore
Take my hand and I’ll lead you
To the quiet water
To quiet water
We will be
Stone all around me but we gotta break
We gotta break
Free

So lift me up Ooh
Lift me up Ooh yeah Mmm
So lift me up Ooh
So lift me up Ooh yeah ooh

Oh Don’t you hear me
Cryin’ out your name
Cryin’ out your name tonight
I need some promises
That can’t be made
I gotta save
My rights

Every day I’ll be rising to
Another sun
Another sun takes flight
The river’s upon us
But we stay above
We stay above alright

So lift me up Ooh
Lift me up Ooh yeah Mmm
So lift me up Ooh
Lift me up Ooh yeah Ooh

Lift Me Up
Lift Me Up
Oh You’re Gonna Lift Me Up
Higher
You’re Gonna Lift Me
You’re Gonna Lift Me
Higher
You’re Gonna Lift Me
You’re Gonna Lift Me
Higher
Down By the River
Don’t you hold me down
I’ve got my lover
I ain’t gonna drown
So won’t you lift me
Oh won’t you lift me
Higher

You gotta lift yourself up higher
You gotta lift yourself up higher
You gotta lift yourself up higher
You gotta lift yourself
Lift yourself
Lift yourself

Down by the river
The river
The river
The river

Down by the river
You gotta break free
Down by the river
The river
The river
The river

Down By The River
You gotta break free
