A Branch in the River

I was holding on to a branch in the river So scared of letting go And praying only that someone would stop the flow I heard a voice like the sound of an ocean Above the river's rush A song as old as the world, And my heart was hushed And I could hear it calling to me Let go now, it'll be ok Let go, and let yourself be carried away Carried away Let go of all your uncertainty Let go, and let yourself be carried to me Carried to me Still I clung to that branch in the river White-knuckled, terrified All of my life I'd been warned that the waters lied Something changed as the flood rose around me And washed away my fear An echo rose from within It was crystal clear And I could hear it calling to me Let go now, it'll be ok Let go, and let yourself be carried away Carried away Let go of all your uncertainty Let go, and let yourself be carried to me Carried to me So I let go You're holding on to that branch in the river So scared of letting go You're praying only that someone would stop the flow But hear the voice, it's a chorus in motion - conflate the I and we Weaving along with the song of the endless sea The song that's always calling to you Let go now, it'll be ok Let go, and let yourself be carried away Carried away Let go of all your uncertainty Let go, and let yourself be carried to me Carried to me
