River of Life

A whisper, a change in the light
Like a ship on the water it sails through my dreams in the night
And it feels like the end and it feels like a fall
It's like all of my work came to nothing at all
And I'm left feeling helpless and left in the cold
And I find myself longing for my days of old

But then I hear the sound and the light closes in
And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin
And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive
Because I am a part of the river of life

I held you like a rock to the shore
Always wishing and hoping that someday you come back once more
But one day you were gone and you never returned
And I feel like my world had just crumbled and burned
And it left me a feeling I cannot describe
And I needed to run and I wanted to hide

But then I hear the sound and the light closes in
And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin
And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive
Because I am a part of the river of life

I am a part of the river of life

Why can't you just hear me?
I won't let go, I won't let go
If this world could save me
I would be home, I would be home

I hear the sound, I see the light
I hear the sound, I see the light
I hear the sound, I see the light...

But then I hear the sound and the light closes in
And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin
And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive
Because I am a part of the river of life
Because I am a part of the river of life
Because I am a part of the river of life
