In my wildest dreams I wouldn't feel all these sins But the weight on my shoulders was too much to bear So I walked to the river and I'll carry it there You have controlled me, my joy in your hands You're the ghost in my footprints, the snake in the sand But life is much bigger and it's taking me It's taking me home Just like a river goes to a sea Just like a river passing through me Just like a river feeding my soul Like a river taking me home I cry as I push you deep down in the water I see your face twisting, your eyes lose their laughter The water will take you away from me now There's peace in the shadows, I've chosen to stay Don't struggle with me, it's much easier this way We've danced for so long, now let go, it's okay Cause I'm going home Just like a river goes to a sea Just like a river passing through me Just like a river feeding my soul Like a river taking me home Taking me home Taking me home Taking me home It's taking me Like a river goes to a sea Like a river passing through me Just like a river feeding my soul Like a river taking me home *
