The River

Bless the water that carries me, carries me across the river
Bless the water that carries me onto the other side
Let the water carry me, carry me across the river
Let the water carry me onto the other side
Things aren't always what they seem
You have to let go to break free
I had to break free
I had to break free
And just go with the flow
Let go to break free
Let go to brеak free
And just go with the flow
Moving on to new horizons
Opening doors and еyes and
I think this is the start of something new
Bless the water that carries me, carries me across the river
Bless the water that carries me onto the other side
Let the water carry me, carry me across the river
Let the water carry me onto the other side
Things aren't always what they seem
You have to let go to break free
I had to break free
I had to break free
And just go with the flow
Let go to break free
Let go to break free
And just go with the flow
Moving on to new horizons
Opening doors and eyes and
I think this is the start of something new
