Nobody Goes To The River

Sun goes black in summer sky

Rain cloud wrung out stone cold dry

Thunder knock down your back door

Nobody goes to the river to pray anymore

Locust swarming crops are dying

Twister forming dust is flying

Lamb lies down where lion roars

Nobody goes to the river to pray anymore

CHORUS

Nobody goes, nobody goes to the river

Nobody goes to the river to pray

God only knows we should all go today

But nobody goes, nobody goes to the river to pray

Mountain crumble to the sea

Ocean rise up angrily

Earthquake split your kitchen floor

Nobody goes to the river to pray anymore

CHORUS

Devil sleeping in your house

Angel weeping no way out

Heaven’s seen this hell before

Nobody goes to the river to pray anymore

Yesterday become tomorrow – nobody goes

Rich man need to beg and borrow – nobody goes

Endless peace stop endless war – nobody goes

Nobody goes to the river to pray anymore

CHORUS

Let’s all go, let’s all go to the river

Let’s all go to the river to pray

God only knows we should all go today

Let’s all go, let’s all go to the river to pray
