And you're down by the river again, but the stars won't shine
And redemption is lost on your soul, you're so full of pride
Button up all the fears that you hide beneath brass and gold
What was holding you down deep inside, we will never know
Were there scars on your skin
Was there shame under sin
You would plunge to the depths
With so many questions left
The children who fell in the street will not make a sound
When the water that brought you to life finally takes you down
What's lost in the river will someday be found
You would follow the law of the land never turning back
But it's breaking like looking glass can with a single crack
When the compass inside is a lie and you turn around
And the enemy stands by your side to help you out
What was once black is white
What was once wrong is right
And your feet start to slip
As the ground starts to give
The children who fell in the street will not make a sound
When the water that brought you to life finally takes you down
What's lost in the river will someday be found
