Great river flowing into the sea

Oh, how I wish you would carry me

'Cause I've tried so hard to go with the tide

Stones in my shoes and my hands are tied

Great fire burning up to the sky

Oh, how I wish to be a spark on the pyre

How hard I've tried, every lesson learned

But my body's tired and my fingers burned

Heaven knows I've tried so hard

But I will never be

Bathing in the light of glory

Heaven knows I've tried so hard

But I will never be

Bathing in the light of glory
