lyrics

I saw the world stretched out before me
bending itself into the flow
but there's somewhere else I need to be
I had to let the river go

I stood knee deep and wondered
felt it's pull clear constant and slow
I watched it press a different path to mine
I had to let the river go

Seven long years in the wilderness
piling stone upon stone on my own
while the suits decide where the walls go
I never thanked you for getting me out of there
I never told you how much it meant
when you took me by the hand and said
"stop living life like it's some kind of accident"

I leapt head long and drifted
everything around me felt so still
till I look ashore and see that I've been taken for a ride
I had to let the river go
