A Branch in the River

I was holding on to a branch in the river, so scared of letting go

And praying only that someone would stop the flow

I heard a voice like the sound of an ocean, above the river's rush

A song as old as the world, and my heart was hushed

And I could hear it calling to me, let go now, it'll be okay

Let go and let yourself be carried away

Carried away

Let go of all your certainty

Let go and let yourself be carried to me

Carried to me

Still, I clung to that branch in the river, white-knuckled, terrified

All of my life, I'd been warned that the waters lied

Something changed as the flood rose around me and washed away my fear

An echo rose from within, it was crystal clear

And I could hear it calling to me, let go now, it'll be okay

Let go and let yourself be carried away

Carried away

Let go of all your certainty

Let go and let yourself be carried to me

Carried to me

So I let go

You're holding on to that branch in the river, so scared of letting go

You're praying only that someone would stop the flow

But hear the voice, it's a chorus in motion, conflate the I and we

Weaving along with the song of the endless sea

The song that's always calling to you, let go now, it'll be okay

Let go and let yourself be carried away

Carried away

Let go of all your certainty

Let go and let yourself be carried to me

Carried to me

Carried to me
