Did the sky ever say I'm the limit? Is the future in the palm of your hand? If it's for you, does it ever go by you? Are you safer when you're back on dry land? Oh, I don't understand In the land of the milk and the honey I was walking through the streets paved with gold When a building with a hundred tall stories Told me something I had already known Oh, I'm already sold But if I believe in a river A believer in the karma of man And you told me that it's gonna be delivered today I'd take your word, 'cause you're an honest man And if I believe in a sinner That there wasn't only bad in his soul If you told me today, he'd lead me astray I'd take your word, because I wouldn't know Take me down to the river Cleanse my soul within 'Cause it tells us in the words of the scriptures That the water washes all of our sins Oh, have I been taken in? But if I believe in a river A believer in the karma of man And you told me that it's gonna be delivered today I'd take your word, 'cause you're an honest man And if I believe in a sinner That there wasn't only bad in his soul If you told me today, he'd lead me astray I'd take your word, because I wouldn't know Ba, ba, ba, ba Ba, ba, ba, ba Ba, ba, ba, ba Take me down to the river Cleanse my soul within Within Within Within
