River

Out across cities I see buildings burn into piles

And watch the world in wonder as mountains turn into tiles

And trees losing their leaves and our faces becoming tired

I wish I could discover something that doesn’t expire

Come and stumble me

Take me river, carry me far

Lead me river like a mother

Take me over to some other unknown

Put me in the undertow

Such are the things that make a kingdom rumble and shatter

The same dynamic that another day would never matter

It really just depends on who’s giving and who’s receiving

And things that don’t make sense are always a little deceiving

Come and humble me

Take me river, carry me far

Lead me river like a mother

Take me over to some other unknown

Put me in the undertow

I wanna know where you’re going

A follower following

Changing but never changed

Claiming but never claimed

Take me river, carry me far

Lead me river like a mother

Take me over to some other unknown

Put me in the undertow
