A Branch In The River |
I was holding on to a branch in the river, so scared of letting go |
And praying only that someone would stop the flow |
I heard a voice like the sound of an ocean — above the river’s rush |
A song as old as the world, and my heart was hushed |
And I could hear it calling to me |
«Let go now, it’ll be ok |
Let go, and let yourself be carried away |
Let go of all your certainty |
Let go, and let yourself be carried to me» |
Still I clung to that branch in the river, white-knuckled, terrified |
All of my life I’d been warned that the waters lied |
Something changed as the flood rose around me and washed away my fear |
An echo rose from within — it was crystal clear |
And I could hear it calling to me |
«Let go now, it’ll be ok |
Let go, and let yourself be carried away |
Let go of all your certainty |
Let go, and let yourself be carried to me» |
So let it go |
You’re holding on to that branch in the river, so scared of letting go |
You’re praying only that someone would stop the flow |
But hear the voice, it’s a chorus in motion — conflate the I and we |
Weaving along with the song of the endless sea |
The song that’s always calling to you |
«Let go now, it’ll be ok |
Let go, and let yourself be carried away |
Let go of all your certainty |
Let go, and let yourself be carried to me» |
