I'll Be Your River

[Chorus]

If you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave, I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through

[Verse 1]

You like the flame and you are drawn by desire

Watchin' and waitin' in line for your turn

I've learned to walk with my back to the fire

I like the heat but I don't wanna get burned

[Chorus]

And if you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave, I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through

[Verse 2]

Here stands a fortress built with great walls of silence

Ready to crumble at the slightest word

Findin' the right one is becomin' a science

I'd like to scream but I ain't gonna be heard

[Chorus]

And if you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave, I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through

[Bridge]

What if all these fears that we both buy into

Melt away and disappear

[Chorus]

If you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you

My love will carry you

My love will carry you through
