Take Me Down
Take Me Down
By Roxanne Elaine Smith
Woke up feeling all the pain of all injustice
Of those accused but did nothing wrong
It’s as if those who shine their lights the brightest
Bear the brunt of changing darkness into song
=====================
Chorus: Take me down to the river
And I’ll wash away my tears
Take me down with the givers
And we’ll wash away the years
Let the water wash the darkness
From the hearts of all those souls
Who do not know that the river holds the gold.
===========================
Hidden from the consciousness illusions do arise
And a subtle roll of thunder underneath the cloud survives
Beware the dark billowing of shadows that roll in
And the light of those entangled must be strong and grow within
==========================
Chorus: Take me down to the river
And I’ll wash away my tears
Take me down with the givers
And we’ll wash away the years
Let the water wash the darkness
From the hearts of all those souls
Who do not know that the river holds the gold.
================================
Bridge: That’s the beauty of believing in a higher love
I can comfort all injustice in my life
Take me down with your words and I get help from up above
Bring on the pain it just makes me feel alive
Take me down, take me down, take me down,
take me down,
Take me down, take me down, take me down
=============================
Chorus: Take me down to the river
And I’ll wash away my tears
Take me down with the givers
And we’ll wash away the years
Let the water wash the darkness
From the hearts of all those souls
Who do not know that the river holds the gold.
2x, slow to end.
