There are some people trying to find out who
There are some people trying to find out why
There's some people who aren't trying to find anything
But that kingdom in the sky
In the sky

I'm going to the river where the current rushes by
I'm going to the river where the current rushes by
I'm gonna swim to the middle where the water is real high
Hand of God coming from the sky
Hand of God coming from the sky
Gonna swim to the middle and stay out there while
Way down low, way down low, let the river cast his spell on me
Let the river cast his spell on me
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh

Singing boys sitting on the bridge
Singing boys sitting on the bridge
Throwing pennies off the edge
Peasants working in the fields keep their heads way down low
Oh, way down low
And don't let on what they know
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)
Way down low
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)
Way down low

Grab those pennies, count them ten
Grab those pennies, count them ten
Hand of God, never come back up again
Let the river cast its spell
On me
(Hand of God, hand of God)
(Hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh
(Hand of God, hand of God) ooh

Near a body of water flowing 'cross the bed
Near a body of water spread across the hotel bed
I'm gonna swim to the middle and never come up again
Let the river cast its spell on me
Let the river cast its spell on me
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh
(Hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh
(God, God)

Going to the river where the current rushes by
I'm going to the river where the current rushes by
I'm gonna swim to the middle
And stay out there a while
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)

Let the river cast its spell
On you
