You are a river, a flowing river through my life I'm filled with compassion and peace when I wash in your lake And every time I dare to bathe in you, I become whole and pure And I feel a shimmering light go through my skin and bones I wonder why I don't go with you Why, why, when I feel the good you do to me It can almost seem as if I'm trying to avoid it And I feel afraid for the pleasure and joy you give me For survival, for survival There is a bridge, a sign to life in my own place Love is the name and the look becomes clear at least once And every time I dare to drink in you, I become whole and pure And I feel a shimmering light go through my skin and bones I wonder why I don't go with you Why, why, when I feel the good you do to me It can almost seem as if I'm trying to avoid it And I feel afraid for the pleasure and joy you give me For survival, for survival I want to defy the resistance I have to accept what is good It's not smart to go around and look for what I've been given I wonder why I don't go with you Why, why, when I feel the good you do to me It can almost seem as if I'm trying to avoid it And I feel afraid for the pleasure and joy you give me For survival, for survival
