Red River Running Lyrics by Rett Christensen

2020

[Intro]
What has violence ever accomplished?
What has it ever created?
No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet
No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders
A sniper is only a coward, not a hero
And an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness
[Verse 1: Trevor Snyder]
Don't ask me how I know what's goin' on
And where in the world the sun is goin' down
Now see the river is runnin', it's runnin' red again
[Chorus: Trevor Snyder]
The red river's runnin' red again
Oh, red river's runnin' red again
[Verse 2: Trevor Snyder]
Yeah, I'm tryin' to put my finger right on it
I think I'm comin' round to the idea bit by bit (By bit)
But if I want that better life, I'm gonna have to try
[Chorus: Trevor Snyder]
The river's run, runnin' red again
Oh, red river's runnin' red again, no, no
[Bridge: Trevor Snyder]
Red river's runnin' red
(Red river's runnin' run, runnin' red)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Whoa
[Verse 3: Trevor Snyder]
Every time I hear the warning voice cry out
You know I throw the gate wide open and watch it all run down
'Til the river is runnin', it's runnin' red again
Red river's runnin' red again
But if you want that better life, you know we gotta try
[Chorus: Trevor Snyder]
To keep the river from runnin' red again
Oh, red river's runnin' red again
The red river's runnin' red
The red river's runnin' red again
[Outro]
Violence breeds violence
Depression breeds retaliation
And only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our souls
