River Lyrics by August Charles

2022

[Intro]
Bola mwinchangu
(Bola, Bola)
Bola mwinchangu
(Bola, Bola)

[Verse 1]
It breaks my heart
To look back in time
At my broken palms
That you held so tight

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd raise my arms
Fall back somethings
Never brought me down
When you told me lies

[Chorus]
We can go down to the river
Don't tell me you're sorry coz you're not
We can go down to the river
Don't tell me you're sorry coz you're not

[Verse 2]
These days the sun don't shine the same way
Still I look into the sky and feel the rain
Did you ever notice me

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd raise my arms
Fall back somethings
Never brought me down
When you told me lies

[Chorus]
We can go down to the river
Don't tell me you're sorry coz you're not
We can go down to the river
Don't tell me you're sorry coz you're not

[Post-Chorus]
Bola mwinchangu
Bola mwinchangu
Bola, Bola
Bola mwinchangu
Bola mwinchangu
Bola, Bola

[Bridge]
And I'm taking it higher
Fly without telling you
Finding my calling
Why you not calling me
Biding my time
I can not hold it in
Give me a sign
Help me I'm falling

[Bridge]
I'm taking it higher
Fly without telling you
Finding my calling
Why you not calling me
Biding my time
I can not hold it in
Give me a sign
Help me I'm falling apart

[Chorus]
We can go down to the river
Don't tell me you're sorry coz you're not
We can go down to the river
Don't tell me you're sorry coz you're not

[Outro]
Bola mwinchangu (Bola)
Bola mwinchangu (Bola)
Bola mwinchangu (Bola)
Bola mwinchangu (Bola)
