lyrics

HOLDING BACK THE LEVEE
Intro:
Holding back the Levee, I Can’t let it loose

VERSE 1:
Oh lord would you believe
Got the whole town depending on me
Got the shakes in my arms, Feel an aching in my knees

Dark clouds closing in
I’m thinking boy I hope they can swim
Their words calling out, brings an aching from within

CHORUS
Holding back the Levee, I can’t let it loose
Holding back the Levee, I can’t let it loose
Give me the strength, carry me through
River pushing hard, rising like the truth
Holding back the Levee, I can’t let it loose
Holding back the levee, I can’t let it loose

VERSE 2:
From a bed of rock and stone
Worked its way to the valley below
That River don’t care, not a thought for where it goes

Hard rain came so fast
Time to run, long gone past
Would they have left if a warning had been known?

VERSE 3:
I see tears in their eyes
I see grown men staring to cry
Put their faith in sad and sorry levee wall

Is it in me, I don’t know
Give it all before I’d let go
Feel the weight bearing down on a ragged and weary soul
