Benny Hester - Undergroung River lyrics

rate me

Violent flow, tidal wave

Surging, boiling, current growing stronger

Stirring of the water

The trickle that started now runs mighty

To an unknown destination

Silent, deep, heaving shake

Sudden turning, rocking, and moving

Shocking quake

A tremble in the earth

That many hearts have heard

The truth brings with it wonder

So close it sounds like hunger

chorus:

Underground river

Flowing through your city

Taking lives, breaking lives, sweeping lives

Into an underground river

And the rain is pouring

The level is rising

And the white washed walls

Scream as they fall

Nothing stops the river

No, nothing stops the river

The day you were born

Empty religion from schools of the learned

Left you bleeding

Glory hungry men, gave no answers

Yeah, they were the problem

So many had to pay

It's enough to drive you away

But there's an

(chorus)
