These things you keep
You better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
But now you are free
Yes, once you were tethered
But now you are free
'Cause that was the river
And this is the sea
Yes, that was the river
And this is the sea
Now you're feeling weary
If you've been alone too long
Maybe you've been suffering
From too many plans that have all gone wrong
And you're trying to remember
How divine your life used to be
Running around banging your drum
Like it's 1973
Well, that was the river
And this is the sea
That was the river
And this is the sea
Now you say you've got trouble
You say you've got pain
You say you've got nothing to believe in
Nothing to hold onto, nothing but trust
Nothing but change
You're scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
You're scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
And that was the river
This is the sea
That was the river
And this is the sea
Now I can see that you're wavering
As you try to decide
You got a war in your head
And it's tearing you up inside
And you're trying to make sense
Of something that you just can't see
Trying to make sense now
And you know you once held the key
But that was the river
And this is the sea
That was the river
And this is the sea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Now I hear there's a train coming
Coming on down the line
It's yours if you hurry
You've got still enough time
You don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
I said, you don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
That was the river
And this is the sea
That was the river
And this is the sea
That was the river
And this is the sea
That was the river
And this is the sea
This is the sea, this is the sea
That was the river
And this is the sea
Behold
The sea
Whoa!
