Lyrics

Where the River Goes

Wonder, full of wonder
How the river knows the way
How the water longs to take you
To the banks of each new day
Your heart?s desires empty
Next to what the river knows
If only you will learn to trust
Where the river goes

So thrash the water with your will
Cling to shorelines fearful still
But the invitation?s yours to just let go

Before you swim the river
There is something you should know
You?ll be dashed and broken sometimes
In the rapid flow
The river means to polish you
To make you something more
To shape you into someone
Whom you?ve never met before

So spin in eddies of your will
Dam the water, fighting still
But the invitation?s yours to just let go

Wonder, full of wonder
Let the river flow today
Life is so much better
Now that I?m out of the way
Is it hard to swim the river
That?s what people want to know
Only if you?re swimming where
The river doesn?t go

If only you would learn to trust
Where the river goes
