Chris Rice: Thirsty

I'm so thirsty
I can feel it
Burning through the furthest corners of my soul
Deep desire
I can't describe it
Nameless urge that drives me somewhere
Though I don't know where to go

Seems I've heard about a River
From someone who's been
And they tell me once you reach it
Oh, you'll never thirst again
So I have to find the River
Somehow my life depends on the River
Holy River

Other waters
I've been drinking
But they always leave me empty like before
Satisfaction
All I'm asking
Could I really be this thirsty
If there weren't something more?

And I've heard about a River
From someone who's been
And they tell me once you reach it
Oh, you'll never thirst again
So I have to find the River
Somehow my life depends on the River
Holy River

I'm so thirsty
I'm so thirsty

I'm on the shore now
Of the wildest River
And I kneel and beg for mercy from the sky
No one answers
I've gotta take my chances
'Cause something deep inside me's crying
This is why you are alive

So I plunge into the River
With all I am
Praying this will be the River
Where I'll never thirst again
I'm abandoned to the River
And now my life depends on the River
Holy River

I'm so thirsty
So thirsty
I'm so thirsty
I'm so thirsty
