Deep down inside
Trust me I've tried
To keep my feelings under
This time it's no use
My heart tells the truth
Whenever we're together
I feel your touch
I'm out of my mind
I lose control
Nothing seems impossible
The river's rising
Take me to the top
The river's rising
I can't get enough
Let your love fill me up
I know what I need
It's no mystery
You're my destination
Before you it seemed
Alone in a dream
Then suddenly awakened
To find your love
Right before my eyes
I lose control
Nothing seems impossible
The river's rising
Take me to the top
The river's rising
I can't get enough
Let your love fill me up
Fill me up
I feel your touch
I'm out of my mind
I lose control
Nothing seems impossible
The river's rising
Take me to the top
The river's rising
I can't get enough
Let your love fill me up
Fill me up
