I spent my time here just holding on

Afraid to let go, the weight's swinging in my soul

No time for shaking this heavy load

Before I take myself down, sinking like a stone

Gotta get myself together

Gotta wash my body clean

If I try to live forever

Gonna be the death of me

'Cause a ghost is in the water

And it's haunted by the future

Gotta leave himself to nature

Gotta take me to the sea

Let me be a river

Won't you carry me?

I can hear you calling me

Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

Be a river

Won't you carry me?

I can hear you calling me

Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

(Be a river

Won't you carry me?

I can hear you calling me)

I'm going down with the waterfall

Heading to places they haven't made a record for

Keep on the good side of every law

Nowhere to hide, no horizon, nowhere to go

Sometimes I feel you with me

Sometimes I go alone

Sometimes you give your blessing

Sometimes I feel the love

That river gonna take me there

That river gonna take me there

That river gonna take me there

Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there

That river gonna take me there

That river gonna take me there

That river gonna take me there

Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there

Let me be a river

Won't you carry me?

I can hear you calling me

Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

Be a river

Won't you carry me?

I can hear you calling me

Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

Be a river

Won't you carry me?

I can hear you calling me

Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

Be a river

Won't you carry me?

I can hear you calling me

Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
