I can feel you pulling down on me like the current of the river.
Though i can't tell you where it may lead,
I can only hope it carries me far.

You told me not to fight.
"with dreams so big, there's no use."
You were almost right;
My dreams were always bigger than you.

I know you'll swear that you still have faith in me,
But you'll be surprised when this river leads into the sea.
(carry me away.)
River, carry me.

I'd throw every thought into the sea just to see how far they'd sink.
Though i know they'll all come back to me when this guilty tide rolls them in.

I can't believe i almost gave in to the undertow.
Now every time i fall, i'll get back up, 'cuz now i know...

River, carry me.
