Why God Made a River

We all need a place where we can go
 Time slows down and the world turns slow
 Feet get wet when the night gets hot, you know
 You know, a place your worries won't get to
 You look down, still see the moon
 So dark that all that we can do is hear each other whisper
 That's why God made a river
 Sent these waters rushing through
 Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
 Where the stars come out and you see them shine
 Shimmer in the water and in your eyes
 Way out here, there ain't no lights but those
 While everybody else is fast asleep
 No one's more awake than me
 I can feel the current keep pulling us in deeper
 That's why God made a river
 Sent these waters rushing through
 Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
 That's why God made a river
 I can feel it flowing through
 Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you

 'Cause we can't save ourselves
 That's why God made a river
 Sent these waters rushing through
 Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
 That's why God made a river
 Can you feel it flowing through?
 Like a waterfall from heaven washing over me and you
