[Lyric] Wash My Soul In The Rivers Flow (Archie Roach)

Well life is like, oh like a river
You only reap what you sow
I hope it's good, oh what you give her
In return for what you grow

Oh I'm going down (Oh I'm going down)
To the river today (To the river today)
I'm jumpin' in the water (Jumpin' in the water)
Wash my sins away (Wash my sins away)

I've listened to a story
From long ago
I'm jumpin' in the water
Wash my soul in the river's flow

Oh people moving, just like a river
On it's way to the sea
Oh well we're sorry, all that you give her
Is nothing but tears and misery

And I'm going down (Oh I'm going down)
Down the river today (To the river today)
I'm jumpin' in thе water (Jumpin' in the water)
Wash my sins away (Wash my sins away)
I'vе listened to a story
From long ago
I'm jumpin' in the water
Wash my soul in the river's flow

Yeah we better be careful (Better be careful)
Oh what we give her (Better be careful)
Cause it's just like (Better be careful)
Society (Society)

And if there's hope
Hope for the river
You know there's hope
For you and me

And I'm going down (Oh I'm going down)
Down the river today (To the river today)
I'm jumpin' in the water (Jumpin' in the water)
Wash my sins away (Wash my sins away)

I've listened to a story
From long ago
I'm jumpin' in the water
Wash my soul in the river's flow

[Instrumental Break]
Oh life is like, oh like a river
You only reap, oh what you sow
I hope it's good, oh what you give her
In return for what you grow

I'm going down
Down the river today
I'm jumpin' in the water
Wash my sins away

I've listened to a story
From long ago
I'm jumpin' in the water
Wash my soul in the river's flow
I'm jumpin' in the water
Wash my soul in the river's flow

Oh yeah
