The River Lyrics

I can feel you pulling down on me
like the current of the river.
Though I can't tell you where it may lead,
I can only hope it carries me far.
You told me not to fight;
"With dreams so big, there's no use!"
You were almost right;
my dreams were always bigger than you!
I know you'll swear that you still have faith in me.
You'll be surprised when this river leads into the sea.
(carry me away)
River, carry me!

I'd throw every thought into the sea
just to see how far they'd sink.
Though I know they'll all come back to me
when this guilty tide rolls them in.

I can't believe I almost gave into the undertow,
now every time I fall, I get back up.
Cuz now I know you'll swear
