Mighty Rivers Lyrics
I was so close to the edge
I was falling down
You come and turn it around
And let me see again, let me see you again
Caught in the eye of the storm
I was sure I'd drown
But you made me reach deep down
Assured of the strength I'd found,
The strength I'd found yeah
Mighty rivers run right through me
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
There was the time
I would go with the rolling tide
I wanted an easy ride
I thought it was all a game
The thunder struck and it changed
And then I was scared, I was scared I was terrified
But you made me reach inside
As certain that I'd survive, I'd survive
But all night I'm lying awake
It feels like my body's afraid to say
Too much to put into words
A dam about to burst, ohh-oh
Mighty rivers run right through me
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
Only you understand me
Want the truth not the fantasy
I'm as true as I can be
Hear me now
Mighty rivers run right through me
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
As far away as they can take me, oh
Mighty rivers run right through me
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
I was falling down
You come and turn it around
And let me see again, let me see you again
Caught in the eye of the storm
I was sure I'd drown
But you made me reach deep down
Assured of the strength I'd found,
The strength I'd found yeah
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
I would go with the rolling tide
I wanted an easy ride
I thought it was all a game
The thunder struck and it changed
But you made me reach inside
As certain that I'd survive, I'd survive
But all night I'm lying awake
It feels like my body's afraid to say
Too much to put into words
A dam about to burst, ohh-oh
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
Want the truth not the fantasy
I'm as true as I can be
Hear me now
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
As far away as they can take me, oh
I fall in if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh

To me
To me this is a very spiritual song, when she says the thunder stroke her and it changed, feels like a sort of awakening. Besides the esoteric side of water and what it means, I love this song
