This river is racing it's chasing me down
The waters are rising I can't touch the ground
I pour out my soul and I scream and I shout
I'm under control and I can't get out
Chorus:
Forgive me if I don't stay too long
Forgive me for coming on so strong
Forgive me for carrying on
Forgive me
I've walked on the bank and I flew in the breeze
And I've tasted the water down on my knees
I waded in watching that river roll by
Then I held out my arm and I looked to the sky
(Chorus)
My time has run out and I want you to know
That I carry you with me where ever I go
You are my water and you are my land
And someday I hope that you understand
(Chorus)
