There was always
A power I could feel
It was guidance
To tell me the way to go--
But nowadays
I feel like I can’t hear that voice
I’ve been flying blind
I need you to come, and be my eyes
(Be my eyes)

Chorus:
River rise
Carry me back home
(I cannot remember the ways)
River rise
Carry me back home
(I surrender today)

I was always
A charmed flower child
I would sit for hours
And listen to the sky--
But nowadays
I feel like I don’t have that choice
I’ve been looking down in desperation
I need you to be my inspiration
(My inspiration)

Chorus:
River rise
Carry me back home
(I cannot remember the ways)
River rise
Carry me back home
(I surrender today)

I bow down
And I humble myself
I can’t do this
Lord I need your help

All the material things
They feel like chains
If you’re not here beside me
You’re the reason I sing
(Help me to remember the way)
I surrender--
Help me to remember
Only you can show me
(Only you can show me the way)
I surrender
(I surrender today)
You are the only way
Lord I need you
