Mighty River - Mary J. Blige

Life is a teacher, time is a healer

And I’m a believer like a river wild

Ego’s a killer, greed is a monster

But love is stronger, stronger than them all

White flag in hand, I don’t wanna fight

No lines in the sand, I’m on your side

Invisible, no colour life

It’s time we put our, put our, put our differences aside

Time tells no lies

It keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by

But if you’re lucky, it will be kind

Like a river flowing through time

(Like a river) let it wash you clean

(Mighty river) going up stream

(Like a river) cutting through right

(Mighty river) 'cause it never gives up

(Like a river) so full of life

(Mighty river) liquid like time

(Like a river) let it wash away

(Mighty river) the pain from yesterday

Love is the answer, hate is a cancer

Hope of forgiveness, it waters the soul

Our blood is red, we’re not so different

'Cause underneath our skin we’re identical

White flag in hand, we’re not gonna fight

No lines in the sand, I’m on your side

Invisible, no colour life, oh

It’s time we put our, oh, put our differences aside

We know wrong from right

Oh, time tells no lies

He keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by

But if you’re lucky, it will be kind

Oh, like a river flowing through time, oh

(Like a river) let it wash you clean

(Mighty river) going up stream

(Like a river) cutting through right

(Mighty river) 'cause it never gives up

(Like a river) so full of life

(Mighty river) liquid like time

(Like a river) let it wash away

(Mighty river) the pain from yesterday

(Like a river) oh, oh, oh

(Mighty river) rain down on me

(Like a river) all it takes is time

(Mighty river) to heal this bloodline

(Like a river) better wash me clean

(Mighty river) get this dirt off of me, yeah

(Like a river) oh, oh, oh

(Mighty river) let it wash the pain

Oh, oh, oh yeah

(Like a river) oh, like a river

(Mighty river) mighty and better river

(Like a river) oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Mighty river) let it wash away

(Like a river) oh, oh, oh

(Mighty river) oh, all the hurt and pain

(Like a river) oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Mighty river) oh mighty river, mighty river

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
