Wash My Soul in the River's Flow

Archie Roach, 2004

Life is like, like a river
You only reap what you sow
I hope it's good what you give her
In return for what you grow
I'm going down, down the river today
I'm jumping in the water
Wash my sins away
I listened to a story from long ago
Well I'm jumping in the water, wash my soul in the rivers flow

People moving like a river
On its way to the sea
And we're sorry all that you give her
Ain't nothing but tears and misery

I'm going down, down the river today
I'm jumping in the water
Wash my sins away
I listened to a story from long ago Well I'm jumping in the water
Wash my soul in the rivers flow

Better be careful what we give her
'Cos It's just like society
For if there's a hope, hope for the river,
You know there's hope for you and me

Life is like, like a river
You only reap what you sow
I hope it's good what you give her
In return for what you grow
I'm going down, down the river today
I'm jumping in the water
Wash my sins away
I listened to a story from long ago
I'm jumping in the water, wash my soul in the rivers flow
I'm jumping in the water, wash my soul in the rivers flow
