She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades

She said she realizes
She's seen her better days

She said she can't look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth

She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

She says she's still searching
For salvation's light
Yeah, she wishes all day
And then, she prays all night

She said she won't speak of love
'Cause love, she's never known
And it's moments like these
She hates to be alone

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

Forgive me
She said
Forgive me
She said
