suzy bogguss - it all falls down to the river lyrics

[verse 1]
river into the future, bridges into the past
million dollar casinos floating on a huck finn raft
good bottomland for the cotton, mansions up on the bluff
we built the levees tall and strong but you know it’s never enough
we thought it would last forever but it’s crumbling at our feet

[chorus]
it all falls down to the river
the river falls down to the sea

[verse 2]
the children know their history, we teach them very well
about the trail of tears and all about the lorraine motel
and how you never judge someone by the color of their skin
we’ve all got a little blood on our hands but that’s just original sin
blame it all on the apple but it doesn’t fall far from the tree

[chorus]
it all falls down to the river
the river falls down to the sea

[bridge]
we all want to feel forgiveness
we all fall down on our knees
hallelujah, can i get a witness?
somebody please?
[verse 3]
we know the crops grow better where the flood washes over the land
and anyway we’re never gonna hold it back filling up bags of sand
some of us are praying for sunshine, some of us are saying “not yet”
but out here in the pouring rain everybody’s gonna get wet
it’s a blanket of snow in the winter but when the sun comes out in the spring

[chorus]
it all falls down to the river
the river falls down to the sea
