The ground's fallen away
There's no where left to run.
So keep your head above the water
The journeys just begun
The ink's wiped from the pages
Tomorrow's come and gone
Just keep your head above the water
Ooo-ooo-ooo it's cold!
Help I've lost my way
So carry me far away
And I pray far away
Far away
Sweet beat child, so glad you must be.
The sun's come out to show her majesty.
Look me in the eyes, tell me no lies
Was that last close call really such a surprise?
A surprise...
Oh pick up speed, velocity!
Taste the bitterness of ecstacy.
On the river, with the river
Down the river, it carries me.
Attractive to me, the trees have become.
As they sweat under the noonday sun.
Beckon their limbs to come take a swim
In the refreshing wet, without a whim, now.
With your brother now.
Pick up speed, my heresy!
Feel the thrill of a falling tree.
In the river, a widow maker, down the river it followed me.
Followed me.
Take a look behind you, tell me what you see.
Ecstacy.
The clouds come cover with a sickly grin.
The sun's warm rays, some are trapped within.
Don't be alarmed, the current is strong.
He'll carry you off where you can belong.
It won't take long, now.
Oh pick up speed, my Pharisee..
Feel the sting of hypocrisy
Stormy weather, worse than better
Down the river to Galilee.
Bless my soul, you're back in control.
The meander hides what your future holds.
With the rapids ahead, forget what I said
You'll still be afloat if you end up dead.
Any regrets, now?
So pick up speed, philosophy!
Grab ahold of your destiny.
So in the river, just the river
Trust the river to carry me.
