Thirsty Lyrics - Chris Rice

I'm so thirsty, I can feel it 

Burning through the furthest corners of my soul 

Deep desire, I can't describe this 

Nameless urge that drives me somewhere 

Though I don't know where to go 

Seems I've heard about a river from someone who's been 

And they tell me once you reach it, oh, you'll never thirst again 

So I have to find the river, somehow my life depends on the river 

Holy river, I'm so thirsty 

Other waters I've been drinkin' 

But they always leave me empty like before 

Satisfaction, all I'm askin' 

Could I really be this thirsty if there weren't something more? 

And I've heard about a river from someone who's been 

And they tell me once you reach it, oh, you'll never thirst again 

So I have to find the river, somehow my life depends on the river 

Holy river, I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty 

I'm on the shore now of the wildest river 

And I kneel and beg for mercy from the skies 

But no one answers, I've gotta take my chances 

'Cause something deep inside me's cryin' "This is why you are alive" 

So I plunge into the river with all that I am 

Praying this will be the river where I'll never thirst again 

I'm abandoned to the river and now my life depends on the river 

Holy river, I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty
