Sam Lewis - I'm a River lyrics

There's a valley not far from here Beyond the dam where the water runs real clear You'll find everything you're looking for There was a time when I could offer you much more Would you believe it, if ever you were told Once I was worth more than my weight in gold Where dreams and promises once flowed with such grace Have all been washed up and dried on these banks [Chorus:] You'd run into me, and yes I'd save your life I'd have you singing "I Saw Light" But I'm river full of heartache that you'll never swim But take step one step closer, I'll pull you in I've seen troulbe, I've seen pain Got beat by the sun, I've drowned in a rain Found it hard to look straight ahead All I've wanted lies on this riverbed But it's the gospel, I heard a man say You can't get back what you don't give away For every seed I've sown and love I've made stay Lord knows I'm ready for the levee to give way [Chorus x3]
