The Trews - Will You Wash Away Lyrics

A man can be destroyed but not defeated
Even when he's lying black and blue
Living on a faith above his ceiling
Never going to know if it rings true

There's a voice inside that keeps him
On the path of righteousness
You can't break his stride
Or change his mind
'Cause he won't second guess

[Chorus]
I don't want to hear you say
You will never change your ways
'Cause you know it's hard to tell
When the river swells
Will you wash away?

[Chorus]
Running to the end of expectation
Ready for the moment to arrive
But the wicked world just keeps you
Waiting baby it can bury you alive

You need something more to rest
Assured or else your faith will die
Like an anchor to the river floor
When the crushing waters rise

[Chorus]

Will you wash away?

Hear the restless river rise
Sheer white waters causing compromise
Doubting eyes, changing minds
For everyone there comes a time
Will you wash away?

Going back on all your allegations once saw enough you changed your tune
Write your way out of the situation
You've got to do what
You have got to do

[Chorus]

Will you wash away?
Will you wash away?
Will you wash away?
