Let the River Run

They built a wall of

gravel and

stone

Said the water needed holding

Said the wild

would drown the home

But I felt the current calling

I chose the river,

let it run I chose the river,

come undone

They dug a hole to bury my name But I rose up

through the rising rain

They tried to stop what can't be held I chose the river,

let it swell

They whispered doubt behind my back

Said I'd break against the current

But every stone they threw I stacked

Made a path that kept me moving I chose the river,

let it run I chose the river,

come undone

They dug a hole to bury my name But I rose up

through the rising rain

They tried to stop what can't be held

I chose the river,

let it swell

If I'd stayed behind that dam

I'd be still and I'd be stagnant

But I broke through what they planned And the water's moving fast

I chose the river,

let it run I chose the river,

come undone They dug a hole to bury my name But I

rose up through the rising rain

They tried to stop what can't be held

I chose the river,

let it swell

I chose the river Let it swell

(let it swell)

I chose the river

And I'm still here
