River Lyrics - Kara Johnstad

Sometimes it scares me 

How fast these waters rushing 

Sometimes it stuns me 

How the people keep hushing me down 

Sometimes Im frightened 

To let the waters take me 

I pray the rocks wont break me 

But then 

I feel sweet love 

Like a river 

Pouring from above 

And I know, yes I know 

This is the river called life 

Sometimes I hesitate 

I just put my big toe in 

Sometimes I am so brave 

I jump right in for a long, long swim 

Sometimes the waterfalls they 

Tumble me right under 

Ears are filled with thunder 

So scared, yet I feel sweet love 

Like a river, pouring from above 

And I know yes I know 

This is the river called life 

Take me to the River 

Take me to the River 

Take me to the River 

The River called Life
