The River Lyrics

I'm fighting to keep my head above water

Slowly I keep sinking below the waves

Is this all that this life has to offer

Will my soul ever be saved

I'm fighting till this thing's over

Till I've dreamed every dream

I don't want to look over my shoulder

Just to see my demons chasing me

A couple tiny pills put me back on my feet

(On my feet)

To help me from the constant drowning

(Drowning)

That seems to be always stuck on repeat

Life is a river and I'm fighting to go upstream

(Go upstream)

To get back where I came from, or is this just a dream

Cuz life is a river

Life is a dream

There's a war that's surging inside me

Just waiting for me to explode

But no one sees that side of me

Cuz I hide it like it's a code

But when I feel like giving up

I remember what you said

All those many years ago

It echoes in my head

I lift my eyes to the star burning in the sky

(In the sky)

It's an energy I cannot explain

(Cannot explain)

I let its warmth wash over me to try to ease the pain

Life is a river and I'm fighting to go upstream

(Go upstream)

To get back where I came from, or is it just a dream

Cuz life is a river

Life is a dream
