Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
No relief from the risin' tide.
Somethin' in the way of the world has changed,
broken apart and rearranged.

Chorus:
And the river's risin'.
Rain keeps pourin' down.
And the river's risin'.
Oh, take me to a higher ground.

Not too little and much too late.
Courting disaster and tempting fate.
Goin' against all natural laws,
putting effect before the cause.

Chorus

When will I see the sun shine again?
When will this darkness come to an end?
Watchin' and waitin', the flood waters rise,
I can't believe what's before my eyes.

Chorus
