River

I go, i go
 Walking south by the river
 I'm told, i'm told
 I'll find gold by the river
 So long, so long
 My dear friends and hello strangers
 Oh shine, oh shine
 My sweet metal please release me
 Oh my bodies soar, don't hurt no more
 It's time, it's time
 I hope my search will find an answer
 It's hard but i keep on wondering how
 My life could change for the better
 You know i tried to get things right
 Thought this would be the answer
 So wash, so wash
 Wash that dirt from my treasure
 Oh this precious gold won't make me whole
 Please, let me go
 All i ever wanted was right in front of me
 This life made me empty
 I've got nothing left to give
 How you hurt my pride,
 You pushed me down to the ground
 All you ever wanted was to hold me down
 It's hard but i keep on wondering how
 My life could change for the better
 You know i tried to get things right
 Thought this would be the answer
 So I wash, i wash
 I wash that dirt from my treasure
 It's hard, so hard
 But i learn and i get better
 Oh this precious gold won't make me whole
 I go, i go
 But it's a long way to the river
 And i can't find any gold
 By the river
