Rich Mullins - Whitewater Lyrics

Oh [?]

Well the white water wanders through them Hoosier hills The water rolls right on And the moon rises over a furrowed field A sycamore stands in the sun

But they can't take me where I would rather be Where my heart leads me to They can't take me where I would rather be with You

Well the greyhound may bus me over prairie miles Endless distances keep running And up above me the clouds seem to sail on by I can't keep myself from wondering

If they could take me where I would rather be Where my heart leads me to They can't take me where I would rather be with You

Well I've spent most of my life running away from the things I've needed And I spent most of my time being Too proud to pray But now at last I'm down here on my knees

And the neon flashes like the alabaster ruins Sending signals out to the blind And the people here well they're always moving Soon I'll leave them all behind

Cuz they can't take me where I would rather be Where my heart leads me to They can't take me where I would rather be with You
