Run to the Water
Black gospel, soul, R&B, contemporary gospel, negro spiritual, black freedom anthemLyrics
[Chorus]
Run, run, run to the water [3X]
The water, it will cleanse your soul,
Run, run, run to the water [3X]
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
[Bridge]
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 adlib]
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 brings life,
The water, it will be our guide
Oh run,
Run
To the water [2X]
