There’s one born every minute
I’ve heard somebody say
No matter how you spin it
you’re bound to fade away
But I just can’t believe
there’s nothing more than here
and now, I’ll keep holding on
until I find the truth somehow

(chorus)
Down to the river
Down to the river of life
Take me down, down, down
Down to the river of life

I can’t see with my eyes
can’t hold it in my hand
I realize that I may never understand
No matter what I do
no matter where I’ve been
I could never pay the price
to make me new again

(chorus)
Down to the river
Down to the river of life
Take me down, down, down
Down to the river of life

Down (Down) Down (Down)
Down to the river of life
Down (Down) Down (Down)
Down to the river of life

To the river
To the river
