To The River Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by: Janis Ian, John Vezner, and John Mellencamp 

They are master and slave. 

We are sunlight and shadow. 

All roads to the river. 

I am lost. I am saved. 

I'm beloved and betrayed. 

All roads to the river. 

And the river runs wide, 

And the river runs deep 

And I spit in the eye 

Of safe company. 

When I dive right down 

To the undertow 

Well, the deeper I drown 

Lord, the higher I'll go.

I am whispering dreams. 

I am howling revolutions. 

All roads to the river. 

I am valentine sweet 

And I live in this nightmare. 

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 

Well, the deeper I drown 

Lord, the higher I'll go.

This is nothing like we planned. 

That's the way it's always been. 

All roads to the river. 

I have hated and I have loved. 

I have prayed and I have sinned. 

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 

Well, the deeper I drown 

Lord, the higher I'll go.
