There's a river that's swollen with rain
you wouldn't guess that i've known so much pain
i have a heart, swollen with pride
you wouldn't guess what i hold inside
oh, it feels so good to have you around
i feel the walls come tumblin' down
i'm ready to change, ready to feel
to be revealed
Take my life in your hands
take my love, be my man
i'm tired of all the lonely nights
i need someone to hold me in the candlelight
take my life, i wanna live
i have so much more i want to give
i need a love that cuts like a knife take my life
There's a river that's runnin' wild
could i take you back when i was a child
i want to see just who i am
to be revealed
Take my life in your hands
take my love, be my man
i'm tired of all the lonely nights
i need someone to hold me in the candlelight
take my life, i wanna live
i have so much more i want to give
i need a love that cuts like a knife take my life
Take my hand and lead me
with your love you can free me
oh, take the chains, away from my heart, take my life
