The River (Alicia’s Version)

[Verse 1: Amanda Reid, Alicia Keys]
I'm alone in a corner of a one-room apartment
Dirty windows let the light in through my fingers
And make patterns on the carpet
Heavy footsteps on the ceiling
And the sirens in the distance

[Pre-Chorus: Amanda Reid]
Drowning sound of plain children
I'm alone here in a crowd of seven million
I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me

[Chorus: Amanda Reid]
So I follow the river
So I follow the river
And I'm gonna catch the wind
'Cause I'm dying to begin
So I follow the, the river (Follow the river)

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys, Amanda Reid]
There's a heartbeat out in these streets
Yeah, there's a bonfire that's set a light inside me
There's no army that can stop me
Watch how strong I'm gonna be
When they said I couldn't be

[Pre-Chorus: Amanda Reid & Alicia Keys]
I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me

[Chorus: Amanda Reid, Alicia Keys]
So I follow the river
So follow the river
And I'm gonna catch a wind
'Cause I'm dying to begin
So follow the river
Oh, follow the river

[Bridge: Amanda Reid & Alicia Keys]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Follow the river
Oh (follow the river)

[Outro: Amanda Reid & Alicia Keys]
Follow the river
I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me
