Lyrics for Rivers of My Fathers

Looking for a way Out of this confusion I'm looking for a sign Carry me home Let me lay down by a stream And let me be miles from everything Rivers of my Fathers Can you carry me home Carry me home Rub your soul against the concrete And the concrete is my smile Got to change my way of living Got to change my style Let me lay down by a stream Miles from everything Rivers of my fathers Could you carry me home Carry me home Looking for a way Got to find a way out of this confusion Looking for a sign Point my way home Let me lay down by a stream Miles from everything Rivers of my fathers, rivers of my fathers Carry me home, please carry me home Carry me home, carry me home Carry me home, carry me home
