When my soul crashed into my body

Falling into consciousness

That's when my mind began this illusion

Of taking it step after step I looked into mother's eyes

I said tell me what I should believe

She drew me a room with a light

Said just turn it off when you leave Slow, slow, this river is slow

We're all out here all on our own

Row, row, gently we row

And one day we'll find our way home Step after step, they drew me a town

They drew me a fear and a need

They drew me a God and they drew me some money

Hiding the truth far from me I asked the cool firelight

Tell me what I should believe

They gave me a song and they gave me a dance

And said, sleep now, your pain we'll relieve Slow, slow, this river is slow

And we're all out here all on our own

Row, row, gently we row

And one day we'll find our way home I have stumbled and crawled, I beg to know why

I've been ashamed when I've chosen to lie

In all of this darkness I have searched for a light

To come and find me and when I found me I wrapped my arms 'round my own daughter

As she fell into her place and time

And as her mind creates her illusions

I won't complicate hers with mine She looked into her mother's eyes

She said tell me what I should believe

And I drew her a door and I drew her a key

And I said when you're ready can you come and find me

And we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new day Slow, slow, this river is slow

And you are never out here on your own, no

Row, row, gently we row

Oh, and together we'll find our way Slow, slow, this river is slow

And life is not what it seems

Row, row, gently we row

The truth is it's only a dream
