Call it wishful thinking, That you'd extend your hand
For the sound of one heart breaking
Inspire you to take a stand
Something in the water, Something in the air
Sometimes the truth is tougher
Than any lie that we can share
A river gonna rise And I'll bring you shelter
A light is gonna shine, And I'll show you the way
The river's gonna rise And I'll be there to hold you
If not for forgiveness And this bitter rain
Turning down tomorrow Spinning 'round a hollow core
No one for you to follow Just the hope for something more
Call it wishful thinking Paint it on my face
Another tragic story About a fool who lost his place
A river gonna rise And I'll bring you shelter
A light is gonna shine And I'll show you the way
The river's gonna rise And I'll be there to hold you
If not for forgiveness And this bitter rain
For the sound of one heart breaking
Inspire you to take a stand
Something in the water, Something in the air
Sometimes the truth is tougher
Than any lie that we can share
A river gonna rise And I'll bring you shelter
A light is gonna shine, And I'll show you the way
The river's gonna rise And I'll be there to hold you
If not for forgiveness And this bitter rain
Turning down tomorrow Spinning 'round a hollow core
No one for you to follow Just the hope for something more
Call it wishful thinking Paint it on my face
Another tragic story About a fool who lost his place
A river gonna rise And I'll bring you shelter
A light is gonna shine And I'll show you the way
The river's gonna rise And I'll be there to hold you
If not for forgiveness And this bitter rain
