A Branch In 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.

I was holding on to a branch in the river

So scared of letting go

And praying only that someone would stop the flow

I heard a voice like the sound of an ocean

Above the river's rush

A song as old as the world

And my heart was hushed

And I could hear it calling to me

Let go now, it'll be ok

Let go, and let yourself be carried away

Let go of all your uncertainty

Let go, and let yourself be carried to me

Still I clung to that branch in the river

White-knuckled, terrified

All of my life, I'd been warned that the waters lied

Something changed as the flood rose around me

And washed away my fear

An echo rose from within, it was crystal clear

And I could hear it calling to me

Let go now, it'll be ok

Let go, and let yourself be carried away

Let go of all your uncertainty

Let go, and let yourself be carried to me

So I let go

You're holding on to that branch in the river

So scared of letting go

You're praying only that someone would stop the flow

But hear the voice, it's a chorus in motion

[?] The I and we

Weaving along is the song of the endless sea

The song that's always calling to you

Let go now, it'll be ok

Let go, and let yourself be carried away

Let go of all your uncertainty

Let go, and let yourself be carried to me
