Like a River

In my wildest dreams, I wouldn’t feel all these things
But the weight on my shoulders, is too much to bare
So I walked to the river, and I’ll carry it there
You have controlled me, my joy in your hands
You’re the ghost in my footprints, a snake in the sand
But life is much bigger and its taking me
Its taking me home
Just like a river goes to the sea
Just like a river passing through me
Just like a river feeding my soul
Like a river taking me home
I cry as I push you, deep down in the water
I see your face twisting, your eyes lose their laughter
The water will take you away from me now
There’s peace in the shadows, I’ve chosen to stay
Don’t struggle with me it’s much easier this way
We’ve danced for so long now let go its ok
Coz I’m going home
Just like a river goes to the sea
Just like a river passing through me
Just like a river feeding my soul
Like a river taking me home
Taking me home
Taking me home
Taking me home
It’s taking me
Like a river goes to the sea
Like a river passing through me
Just like a river feeding my soul
Like a river taking me home.
