God I have come to confess my sin
There's blood on my hands and I can't seem to cleanse
These velvet stains from these idle limbs
And no work is the devil's work, ain't that what they said
Cuz' I've cheated, I've gambled, I've stolen, and I've rambled
I even tried to kill my own best friend
With wicked desires I fueled those fires
And let the flames grow taller than my head
So take me to the river
Lay me softly into sleep
Baptize me in those cool waters
And pray lord my sinner's soul to keep
And I got two hands each with five fingers too
And they're stupid like my will to survive
But I know a man's got to do what he needs to do
To mindlessly mind whats on his mind, with not such crooked things such as mine
And there's five green walls in this little room
And I'm feeling like I'm stranded once again
Cuz' my heart beats broke cannot carry a tune
And there's no savior in my sight
So take me to the river
Lay me softly into sleep
Baptize me in those cool waters
And pray lord my sinner's soul to keep
