River Cross |
| I always thought I’d cross that river |
| The other side, distant now |
| As I got close it turned and widened |
| Horizon now, fading out |
| Drifting off in the undertow |
| Can’t spot a figure on dry land |
| And afterthoughts of safety |
| When in truth, none to be had |
| None to be had |
| I used to tell time by my shadow |
| Til the thunderclouds, they took the stage |
| These days will end as do the light’s rays |
| Another read of the same page |
| Wide awake through this deepest night |
| Still waiting on the sun |
| As the hours seem to multiply |
| Find a star to soldier on |
| Living beneath a lion’s paw |
| Knowing nothing can be tamed |
| Can be tamed |
| I want this dream to last forever |
| A wish denied to lengthen our time |
| I wish this moment was never ending |
| Let it be a lie that all future’s die |
| While the government thrives on discontent |
| And there’s no such thing as clear |
| Proselytizing and profitizing |
| As our will all but just disappears |
| Folded over, forced in a choke hold |
| Outnumbered and held down |
| And all this talk of rapture |
| Look around at the promise now |
| Here and now |
| Here and now |
| Can’t hold me down |
| Can’t hold me down |
| Won’t hold us down |
| Won’t hold us down |
| Live it out |
| Let it out |
| Get it out |
| Shout it out |
| Won’t hold us down |
| Won’t hold us down |
| Share the light |
| Won’t hold us down |
