THERE AIN'T NO GOLD
IN THIS RIVER
THAT I'VE BEEN WASHIN'
MY HANDS IN FOREVER
I KNOW THERE IS HOPE
IN THESE WATERS
BUT I CAN'T BRING
MYSELF TO SWIM
WHEN I AM DROWNING
IN THIS SILENCE
BABY LET ME IN
GO EASY ON ME BABY
I WAS STILL A CHILD
DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO
FEEL THE WORLD AROUND ME
I HAD NO TIME TO CHOOSE
WHAT I CHOSE TO DO
SO GO EASY ON ME
THERE AIN'T NO ROOM FOR
THINGS TO CHANGE
WHEN WE ARE BOTH SO DEEPLY
STUCK IN OUR WAYS
YOU CAN'T DENY HOW
HARD I HAVE TRIED
I CHANGED WHO I WAS TO
PUT YOU BOTH FIRST
BUT NOW I GIVE UP
GO EASY ON ME BABY
I WAS STILL A CHILD
DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO
FEEL THE WORLD AROUND ME
HAD NO TIME TO CHOOSE
WHAT I CHOSE TO DO
SO GO EASY ON ME
I HAD GOOD INTENTIONS
AND THE HIGHEST HOPES
BUT I KNOW RIGHT NOW
IT PROBABLY DOESN'T
EVEN SHOW
GO EASY ON ME BABY
I WAS STILL A CHILD
I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO
FEEL THE WORLD AROUND ME
I HAD NO TIME TO CHOOSE
WHAT I CHOSE TO DO
SO GO EASY ON ME
