Gently We Row Lyrics - Fearless Love - Melissa Etheridge

My soul crashed into my body 

Falling into consciousness 

That's when my mind began this illusion 

Of taking it step after step 

I looked into Mother's eyes 

I said: "Tell me what I should believe" 

She drew me a room with a light 

Said: "Just turn it off when you leave" 

Slow, slow, this river is slow 

We're all out here all on our own 

Row, row, gently we row 

And one day we'll find our way home 

Step after step, they drew me a town 

They drew me a fear and a need 

They draw me a god and they drew me some money 

Hiding the truth far from me

I asked the cool firelight: 

"Tell me what I should believe" 

They gave a song and they gave me a dance 

And said: "Sleep now, your pain we'll relieve" 

Slow, slow, this river is slow 

We're all out here all on our own 

Row, row, gently we row 

And one day we'll find our way home 

I've stumbled and crawled, I beg to know why 

And I've been shamed when I've chosen to lie 

In all of this darkness I have searched for a light 

To come and find me and when I found me 

I wrapped my arms 'round my own daughter 

As she fell into her place and time 

And as her mind creates her illusions 

I won't complicate hers with mine 

Photos 

She looked into her mother's eyes 

She said: "Tell me what I should believe" 

And I drew her a door 

And I drew her a key 

And I said: "When you're ready 

Can you come and find me? 

And we'll walk out of here 

And tomorrow will be a new day" 

Slow, slow, this river is slow 

And you are never out here on your own, no 

Row, row, gently we row 

Oh... and together we'll find our way 

Slow, slow this river is slow 

Life is not what it seems 

Row, row, gently we row 

The truth is, it's only a dream
