I fought the spirit
With a sword in my side
And gee, what a way out
Crack my rib
Wait to die
I think I know you the best when I sleep
I think I know everything
Me and my brothers
We have tongues sharp as knives
And I found a way out
Make a noise, close your eyes
I think I talk to you best when I sing
I sing about almost everything
Oh God I need it
So let me sing again
Take me to the river
And let me see again
Oh my God
Let me see again
Oh my God
Let me see again
Let me see again
Grace taught a debtor
Daily I'm strained to be
God how I feel it
Fetter pride to your feet
I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get
I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get
I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get
I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get
Oh God I need it
I was wrong again
Take me to the river
And make me clean again
Oh my God
Make me clean again
And oh my God
Let me see again
