River God - Sheila E. and the E-Train
Written by:Nicole Nordeman
Rolling river God
Little stones are smooth
Only once the water
Passes through
So I am a stone
Rough and grainy still
Trying to reconcile this rivers chill
But when I close my eyes
And feel you rushing by
I know that time brings change
And change takes time
And when the sunset comes
My prayer would be this one
That you might pick me up and notice
That I am
Just a little smoother in your hand
Sometimes raging wild
Sometimes swollen high
Never once I've known this river dry
The deepest part of you
Is where I want to stay
And feel the sharpest edges wash away
But when I close my eyes
And feel you rushing by
I know that time brings change
And change takes time
And when the sunset comes
My prayer would be this one
That you might pick me up and notice
That I am
Just a little smoother in your hand
Rolling river god
Little stones are smooth
Only once the water
Passes through
And now
I see
