Starts out with a silent word
With a voice, it can now be heard
With a single song that begins to burn
This river will never run dry as long as I'm alive
It will never run dry as long as I'm alive
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
I won't make a sound if you'll drop me down
Laid down everything I have
Put aside everything I own
And inside my soul, I become unknown
This river will still run wild, I must be alive
For it will never run dry as long as I'm alive
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
I won't make a sound if you'll drop me down
It amazes me
It's not you, it's me
Who has kept me bound so long
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
I won't make a sound if you'll drop me down
One step for me to your hand
And I'll fall to an unknown land
And speak an unknown word
You could not understand
And everything I've been
Every sort and every word will fall with me
If you drop me down
It amazes me
It's not you, it's me
Who has kept me bound so long
It's a sight to see
All that trouble we hate
Troubles are no more
And from the palm of your hand
Above the blood red sand
I can fall until I'm free
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
Oh God, won't you drop me down?
I did not make a sound
When you dropped me down
