No Way Around A River Lyrics

You keep closing your eyes
Trying to ignore it, hoping it'll disappear
Face to face with your own Goliath
At least that's how it looks from here
All the stones you can throw won't scare it away
Pacing back and forth, trying to think of something
To get you to the other side
The path of your fear runs in all directions
When you're looking for a place to hide
But you know the one you've gotta take
There's no way around a river baby
Wade on in the deep
When you can't go any further
Hold on to me
And if it pulls you under I'll be there too
There's no way around a river baby
It's just something you've gotta go through
The troubles you face, the wounds you're protecting

The sins that you wrestle with
We all have our share we'd like to get over
Sometimes there's just no bridge
And the very thing that makes us afraid
Is just what we need to wash it away
There's no way around a river baby
Wade on in the deep
And when you can't go any further
Hold on to me
And if it pulls you under I'll be there too
There's no way around a river, baby
It's just something you've gotta go through
That's the way it is so just wade on in
I'll see you on the other side
No way around it, no way around a river baby
Wade on in, wade on in
And if it pulls you under, I'll be there too
There's no way around a river, baby
It's just something you've gotta go through
Oh yes it is, yes it is
Oh, no way around it
No way around a river baby
Wade on in, wade on in, yeah, yeah
