Lyrics All Roads to the River - Janis Ian

All Roads to the River

Janis Ian
Breaking the silence
All roads to the river
I am master and slave
I am sunlight and shadow
I am all roads to the river
I am lost, I am saved
I am beloved and betrayed
All roads to the river
And the river runs wide
The river runs deep
And I spit in the eye
Of safe company
When I dive right down
To the undertow
The deeper I drown
The higher I’ll go
I am whispering dreams
I am howling revolutions
All roads to the river
I am valentine sweet
I am every mother’s nightmare
All roads to the river
I dream of still waters
Silent and clear
But I run for the thunder
That’ll drown my fear
