A whisper, a change in the light Like a ship on the water it sails through my dreams in the night And it feels like the end and it feels like a fall It's like all of my work came to nothing at all And I'm left feeling helpless and left in the cold And I find myself longing for my days of old But then I hear the sound and the light closes in And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive Because I am a part of the river of life I held you like a rock to the shore Always wishing and hoping that someday you come back once more But one day you were gone and you never returned And I feel like my world had just crumbled and burned And it left me a feeling I cannot describe And I needed to run and I wanted to hide But then I hear the sound and the light closes in And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive Because I am a part of the river of life I am a part of the river of life Why can't you just hear me? I won't let go, I won't let go If this world could save me I would be home, I would be home I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light I hear the sound, I see the light But then I hear the sound and the light closes in And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive Because I am a part of the river of life But then I hear the sound and the light closes in And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive Because I am a part of the river of life But then I hear the sound and the light closes in And I'm suddenly free of my doubt and my sin And I'm ready for change and I know I'll survive Because I am a part of the river of life
