[Verse 1]
By the river, through the summer
I waited patiently
You had promised, with all your power
To come and rescue me
To come and set me free
[Verse 2]
And you were running, through the valley
Heading straight for me
My mind was shaking, but I was ready
For you to rescue me
For you to set me free
[Verse 3]
I found a letter, floating in a bottle
Being washed away to the sea
Penned by freedom, addressed to no one
For who now could it be?
[Verse 4]
I saw a vision, some kind of apparition
But it felt so real, so free
I had a conversation, a faint of liberation
For who now could it be
For anyone but me
[Outro]
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
Something fell apart in me
As I watch my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
