There's a river that's swollen with rain
You wouldn't guess that I've known so much pain
I've got a heart, swollen with pride
You wouldn't guess what I hold inside Oh, it feels so good to have you around
I feel the walls come tumblin' down
I'm ready to change, ready to feel
To be revealed Take my life in your hands, take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife, take my life There's a river that's runnin' wild
Could I take you back when I was a child
I want to see just who I am
To be revealed Take my life in your hands, take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife, take my life Take my hand and lead me
With your love you can free me
Oh, take the chains away from my heart, take my life Take my life in your hands, take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife, take my life
I need a love that cuts like a knife, take my life
