Lyric discussion by passionate 

Cover art for River lyrics by Emeli Sandé

I agree with @Adminadmin. This song is talking about God. Having that trust and faith in God. Matthews 17:20 talks about if you have even a little bit of faith, as small as a drop of mustard, you can say to the mountain move and it will move! Deuteronomy 31:6 says that the Lord will never leave your side. The people who commented below and thought it was talking about the love between two people are people who are still searching for real love. God is love. 1 John 4:8.
