There are some people trying to find out who There are some people trying to find out why There’s some people who aren’t trying to find anything But that kingdom in the sky In the sky

I’m going to the river where the current rushes by I’m going to the river where the current rushes by I’m gonna swim to the middle where the water is real high Hand of God coming from the sky Hand of God coming from the sky Gonna swim to the middle and stay out there while Way down low, way down low, let the river cast his spell on me Let the river cast his spell on me (Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh (Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh

Singing boys sitting on the bridge Singing boys sitting on the bridge Throwing pennies off the edge Peasants working in the fields keep their heads way down low Oh, way down low And don’t let on what they know (Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) Way down low (Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) Way down low

Grab those pennies, count them ten Grab those pennies, count them ten Hand of God, never come back up again Let the river cast its spell On me (Hand of God, hand of God) (Hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh (Hand of God, hand of God) ooh

Near a body of water flowing ‘cross the bed Near a body of water spread across the hotel bed I’m gonna swim to the middle and never come up again Let the river cast its spell on me Let the river cast its spell on me (Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh (Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh (Hand of God, hand of God) ooh, oh (God, God)

Going to the river where the current rushes by I’m going to the river where the current rushes by I’m gonna swim to the middle And stay out there a while (Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)

Let the river cast its spell On you
