River

River, can you heal me Wake me from the walking dead Wash me of my past and make me present once again Carry me onward toward a dawn and out of the dark I'm your wounded vessel, your slow beating heart And I do fear the unknown So, river, will you keep your current slow I've been holding strong but Folding from the thought of what has come I went running from someone who could Not love the way I love, then I went numb River, take my travels beyond your channel and out to sea Those are friendly waters, there are no beasts there that frighten me Carry me upward toward open sky and out of the ground I'm your wounded vessel, but I'm still breathing at my bow And I do fear the unknown So, river, will you keep your current slow I've been holding strong but folding from the thought of what has come I went running from someone who could Not love the way I love then I went numb River, gather 'round me, river, set me free
