When the sky filled with fire and smoky black
This was not the home I knew coming back
So maybe I'll just turn around and leave
But there's nowhere else left to go
River's dry pockets empty there is no more
Money to go around
Somebody save me somebody cleanse me
I am still praying for rain from the sky
Somebody hold me somebody console me
Where do I run to when the river runs dry?
The rain had come to wash the burns
From the wounded hillsides and I in turn
Had to wade deep in the mud
But woe is me when I take and take
When there's plenty of bread for me to break
So tell me who could save me from the flood?
Somebody save me somebody cleanse me
Somebody send me a little more rope
Deserving no sympathy because I'm my worse enemy
Somebody give me a little more hope
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Somebody save me somebody cleanse me
I am still praying for rain from the sky
Somebody hold me somebody console me
Where do I run to when the river runs dry?
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
