By the river, through the summer
I waited patiently
You had promised, with all your power
To come and rescue me
To come and set me free
And you were running, through the valley
Heading straight for me
My mind was shaking, but I was ready
For you to rescue me
For you to set me free
I found a letter, floating in a bottle
Being washed away to the sea
Penned by freedom, addressed to no one
For who now could it be?
I saw a vision, some kind of apparition
But it felt so real, so free
I had a conversation, a faint of liberation
For who now could it be
For anyone but me
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I′m free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I′m free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
