The Trews - Will You Wash Away lyrics

A man can be destroyed but Not defeated Even when he's lying black and blue Living on a faith above his ceiling Never going to know if it rings true There's a voice inside that keeps him On the path of righteousness You can't break his stride Or change his mind 'cause he won't second guess I don't want to hear you say You will never change your ways Cause you know it's hard to tell When the river swells Will you wash away? Running to the end of expectation Ready for the moment to arrive But the wicked world just keeps you Waiting baby it can bury you alive You need something more to rest Assured or else your faith will die Like an anchor to the river floor When the crushing waters rise I don't want to hear you say You will never change your ways 'cause you know it's hard to tell When the river swells Will you wash away? Will you wash away? Hear the restless river rise Sheer white waters causing compromise Doubting eyes, changing minds For everyone there comes a time Will you wash away? Going back on all your allegations Once saw enough you changed your tune Write your way out of the situation You've got to do what You have got to do I don't want to hear you say You will never change your ways Cause we know it's hard to tell When the river swells Will you wash away?
