Rise up, look around

Theres so much more to see

With your eyes up, settle down,

It’s OK to just be

Melancholy river

Melancholy river

Let me be

Tell me why

Do i have to say goodbye

These tears are running dry, can't you see

As life goes by, i know i’ll get along

But is fine, what i really wanna be

Melancholy river, let me be

Melancholy River, Oh thats me

I’m too afraid but I’ve got to let it go

When i'm gone, it won't be long

Till you’re alright with me

Truth be told, we’re all getting old

That's no reason not to be

Whatever you got to be

Be whatever you’ve got to be

Be whatever you’ve got to be

Be whatever you’ve got to be

I said I know I know I know I know

I’ve got to let it go

But would you be fine, if you’re defined

By a stigma from before

And tell me now would you be so proud if you knew the truth would it mean somehow

We could work it out we could smoke it out

And would everything be fine fine?

Melancholy river, let me be

Melancholy river, Oh thats me

I’ll tell you something don't keep me down cause ….

Melancholy river let me be,

Melancholy river, Oh thats me

I’m too afraid but I’ve got to let it go

When i'm gone, it won't be long

Till you’re alright with me

Truth be told, we’re all getting old

That's no reason not to be

Whatever you got to be

Be whatever you’ve got to be

Be whatever you’ve got to be

Be whatever you’ve got to be
