Radio Free Babylon™ IS COMING TO YOUR TOWN 

There's A River

From the album The Summer Land

This song borrows heavily from the Staples Singers classic "I'll Take You There." Borrows? No, downright robs, actually. This song will feature the Voices of Deliverance Choir of Springfield, Missouri.

There’s a river
Flowing through the street
There’s a river
On each side there’s a tree
There’s a river
Flowing through my home
There’s a river
Flowing from the throne

And if you’re ready…
When you’re ready…

I know a place
Ain’t nobody cryin’
Ain’t nobody worryin’
Ain’t no smiling faces…
…lyin’ to the races

If you’re ready – I’ll take you there
If you’re ready – I’ll take you there

That river…
its water is alive and pure
And the tree…
its leaves hold the cure
My home – my home
is a beautiful thing
But the throne…
It belongs to the king
of kings

When you’re ready – I’ll take you there
When you’re ready – I’ll take you there

I know a place
Ain’t nobody cryin’
Ain’t nobody worryin’
Ain’t no smilin’ faces…
…puttin’ you through the paces

There’s a river
I’ll take you there
Flowin’ through the street
I’ll take you there
There’s river
I’ll take you there
On each side there’s a tree

There’s a river
Flowin’ through my home
There’s a river
I’ll take you there
Flowin’ from the throne

When you’re ready
When you’re ready
