מילים לשיר The Holy River – Prince

Let's go down 2 the holy river
If we drown then we'll be delivered
U can still see the picture upon the wall One eye staring at nothing at all
The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears
U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide
U can't run from yourself and what's inside
U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear So over and over U ask your soul
Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told Puttin' your faith in things that only make U cry
Spending your time in all the wrong places
People say they love U when they wanna help
But how can they when U can't help yourself?
The more they say they love U, the more U just wanna die
So here we go again, the self analysis
Have another glass of Port and uh. forget this
The band's playin' at the club 2night and they're bound 2 groove
There U are, U think U're high U can't ask yourself cuz U'd only lie
If U had a dollar 4 every time U tried U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell U straight up
Come and make love when U really hate 'em
Relationships based on the physical are over and done
They're over and done (They're over and done)
U'd rather have fun
Only one. one (one)
With only one, with only one Who gave U life when there was none at all?
And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall
Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (Ooh, oh yes)
Let me tell it (Go'n)
Every breath U take will make U stronger
If U ask God 2 love U longer
Keepin' U happy (happy) and proud 2 call His name (Go'n and say it)
Jesus (Jesus) Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
And over and over U ask your soul
And this time I was listening, hear me
And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told Let's go down 2 the holy river
If we drown then we'll be delivered (Yes we will)
If U die before U try
If we don't then we'll never see the light (No)
U'll have 2 come back and face the light (Oh yes)
When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry (Oh my, my) I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her
So I went on down 2 the holy river
I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried
And. and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine
Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine
And when I see that picture upon the wall
The one eye staring at nothing at all
Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time
My eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tears
Let's go down 2 the holy river Oh, yes they are Let's go down 2 the holy river.
