River to Sea Lyrics

River to sea
There we will be
I've found my place
Where I have longed to be
I can't erase any mistake
But I can outgrow
Rivers of love will flow
Turn around
Your life is in your hands
Nowhere to be
Found plenty things to be
Unleashing hell
Each time the answers fell
I cannot change any man's hate
But I can make known
Forgiving waters that flow
Turn around
Your life is in your hands
Don't mean you won't wake from the dead
It don't mean you can't
It don't mean you you can't wake from the dead
Don't mean you can't

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I saw him play this live with just him and his guitar.

One of the best "live moments" I've ever experienced was when he sand "I cannot change any man's fate, but I can make known forgiving waters that flow."
