Starts out with a silent word With a voice, it can now be heard With a single song that begins to burn This river will never run dry as long as I'm alive It will never run dry as long as I'm alive Oh God, won't you drop me down? Oh God, won't you drop me down? I won't make a sound if you'll drop me down Laid down everything I have Put aside everything I own And inside my soul, I become unknown This river will still run wild, I must be alive For it will never run dry as long as I'm alive Oh God, won't you drop me down? Oh God, won't you drop me down? I won't make a sound if you'll drop me down It amazes me It's not you, it's me Who has kept me bound so long Oh God, won't you drop me down? Oh God, won't you drop me down? I won't make a sound if you'll drop me down One step for me to your hand And I'll fall to an unknown land And speak an unknown word You could not understand And everything I've been Every sort and every word will fall with me If you drop me down It amazes me It's not you, it's me Who has kept me bound so long It's a sight to see All that trouble we hate Troubles are no more And from the palm of your hand Above the blood red sand I can fall until I'm free Oh God, won't you drop me down? Oh God, won't you drop me down? I did not make a sound When you dropped me down
