There s more to a river than water
There s more to a fire than flame
There s more to a prayer than longing
There s more to a sinner than shame
Laying low and wasting time
In these days of wine and regret
There s a message in every bottle
That s telling me to forget
Ooh, that there s more
Yes there s more
(There s more to a river than water
More to a fire than flame
More to a prayer than longing
More to a sinner than shame
More to an ocean than mighty
More to a lover than blame
More to a beggar than wanting
More to a sinner than shame)
Sleeping late and falling behind
So much for going straighter
But there are things left to remind me
That I was going to do better
Ooh, 'cause there s more
Yes there s more
