Run to the Water
Black gospel, soul, R&B, negro spiritual, contemporary gospelLyrics
[Chorus]
Run, run, run to the water [3X]
The water, it will cleanse your soul,
Run, run, run
To the water [3X]
The water, it will make you whole
[1st verse]
From sun up to sun down,
We've been working for solid freedom,
We've been searching,
Around the corner,
Evil's been lurking,
Making our peace,
And release uncertain
[Bridge]
But now we head to the river,
Just to leave this Earth,
Yeah, we head to the river to have ourselves re-birthed
[Chorus]
Run, run, run to the water [3X]
The water, it will cleanse your soul,
Run, run, run to the water [3X]
The water, it will make you whole
[2nd verse]
They tried to break our bodies,
But they couldn't break our minds,
So, they got outsmarted,
And they'll soon be out of time
[Bridge]
When we run to the river,
We will soon cross over,
Yeah, when we run to the river,
It will be our cover
[Chorus]
Run, run, run
to the water [3X]
The water, it will cleanse your soul,
Run, run, run
To the water [3X]
The water, it will make you whole
[Last ad lib]
We're rooted in the water,
And the water, it speaks,
The water, it will bring us peace,
We drown in the water,
But the water, it will be our guide
Oh, run
Run
To the water
Oh, run
Run
To water
