It All Falls Down To The River

It All Falls Down To The River

(albüm: Prayin' For Sunshine - 2023)

River into the future
Bridges into the past
Million dollar casinos
Floating on a Huck Finn raft
Good bottomland for the cotton
Mansions up on the bluff
We build the levees tall and strong
But you know it's never enough

We thought it would last forever
But it's crumbling at our feet
It all falls down to the river
The river falls down to the sea

The children know their history
We teach them very well
About the trail of tears
And all about the Lorraine Motel
And how you never judge someone
By the color of their skin
We've all got a little blood on our hands
But that's just original sin

Blame it all on the apple
But it doesn't fall far from the tree
It all falls down to the river
The river falls down to the sea

We all want to feel forgiveness
We all fall down on our knees
Hallelujah, can I get a witness
Somebody, please?

We know the crops grow better
Where the flood washes over the land
And anyway, we're never gonna hold it back
Filling up bags of sand
Some of us are praying for sunshine
Some of us are saying "not yet"
But out here in the pouring rain
Everybody's gonna get wet

It's a blanket of snow in the winter
But when the sun comes out in the spring
It all falls down to the river
The river falls down to the sea

It all falls down to the river
The river falls down
To the sea
