Lyrics
The River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Crazy to think that you could break me
With time you’ll see how I’ve become
Greater than the walls you place before me
Erased your shadow found the sun
And all I had to do
Was lift myself up over you
To be the man you could only hope to ever be
That you could never be
Like a river I will flow
Over every stone you throw
As you watch the river rise
You will come to realize
You can’t stop the river
Living with envy hate and saddness
Taking to fill your empty soul
Healing with time I’ve grown beyond you
Lifting myself from out your hole
