There's a river that's swollen with rain
You wouldn't guess that I've known so much pain
I have a heart, swollen with pride
You wouldn't guess what I hold inside
Oh, it feels so good to have you around
I feel the walls come tumbling down
I'm ready to change, ready to feel
To be revealed

Take my life in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife, take my life

There's a river that's running wild
Could I take you back when I was a child
I want to see just who I am
To be revealed

Take my life in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife, take my life
Take my hand and lead me
With your love, you can free me
Oh, take the chains, away from my heart, take my life
