Down To The River Lyrics - Hanging In The Balance - Metal Church

I've got nowhere to go 

I've got some rocks to throw today 

A child so lost in time 

A kid whose mind's been blown away 

He's heard all he can hear 

And seen more than he wants to see 

This town's all dead end streets 

Signs saying what young men should be 

He will take it down to the river 

Down to the river 

Face down on the ground 

The day is pounding on your head 

Lonely in a crowd 

'Cause she's in someone else's bed 

These halls are paved with gold 

A combination lock on every door 

The things he's learned today 

Are stuck in books thrown on the floor 

He will take it down to the river 

Down to the river, down to the river 

Down to the river 

Another daily grind 

At sixteen you ain't got time to waste 

Make some future plans 

A blueprint of someone else's fate 

Be yourself they say 

As long as you do it like we say 

What's wrong with kids today? 

They need a place to get away 

They just take it down 

Take it away, take it all away 

Down to the river, river 

Yeah, down to the river 

Take it down to the river 

Down to the river
