Bend In The River

 


Bend In The River

Written by Scott Wainwright


If you had seen what I have seen

You'd reach the same conclusion

If you have been where I had been

You'd be under no illusion

You wouldn't stop and wonder what you had to do

You'd know this bend in the river

Will take me away from you

This bend in the river

Will take me out of view



See, all your pretty words

Are nothing but confusing

When all they hide

Is the ill intent you are using

Its older than time and nothing really new

I'm glad that this bend in the river

Will take me away from you

This bend in the river

Will take me out of view



You would have everyone believe

In the cold light of day

That all your slight of hand

Is a way to change

But that's easy for those with nothing to lose

I'm glad this bend in the river

Will take me away from you

This bend in the river

Will take me out of view



Not everything you want to buy

Is available for sale

So no matter how you try

You won't find the truth in this tale

But know that goodness always makes a way through

And this bend in the river

Could be the thing that saves you

This bend in the river

Could be the thing to change you
