lyrics

Think I’ll go down to the river, and watch it flow around the bend.
If just to cast aside my troubles, from this world of “sink or swim.”
Washed-up promises like driftwood, lies entangled on the shore.
Standing knee deep in the shallows,
I pray to God there must be something more.

Spring-fed water cuts thru granite and carves this canyon in my soul.
Hoping to find a deeper meaning to this emptiness I know.
Standing on the edge, I wonder…just what it is I’m looking for?
Truth is cast in shadows,
I pray to God there must be something more.

I need wisdom and belief,
A little less war and a lot more peace,
A little bit of kindness, if you’re the kind who can keep it real.
I need a warm bed and a friend,
A little less drama and a lot more sense,
A little bit of something to set my spirit free.
Heaven’s sending Angel Wings…
Smooth and graceful Angel Wings.

I was standing at the river, and I saw this boat come around the bend.
Floating gently on the water, carrying my family and my friends.
I went swimming out to meet them and they welcomed me aboard,
As we sailed off in the sunset,
I thank God that there is always something more.

I need comfort and release,
A little less war and a lot more peace,
A little bit of kindness, with the kind who can keep it real.
A soft pillow for my head,
A little less trouble and a lot more friends,
A little bit of something, to put my mind at ease.

I need wisdom in my soul,
A little more rock and a little less roll,
And a little bit of kindness goes a long, long way these days.
I need a warm bed and a friend,
A little less drama and a lot more sense.
And one more thing…
I need you all to pray…
for peace today.
(Don’t you know that love’s okay?)
Heaven’s sending Angel Wings.
Angel Wings…smooth and graceful Angel Wings.

Down to the river…to the river, I will go.
