River Alive — текст песни (Tomlinson Michael)

They say in Louisiana
You can sink into the sand
So they try to keep the water
Diverted from the land
When you go to hold a river
And it won`t be held
It`s the nature of a river
To flow where it falls and it will
Now I`ve got these emotions
That I`ve never ever felt
The gate I didn`t open
I guess I wasn`t ready yet
Now I feel like that river
The levee`s gonna go
Can`t hold it back forever
I`m swollen, the river must flow
I no longer need what I thought I did
I no longer need a wall around me
My waters run deep
The current is filled
With life overflowing
Who knows where we`re going
Here on this river alive
I`ve always loved the water
Oh the gently falling rain
Such a natural reminder
We`re forgiven once again
And I cry like a baby
As it falls on my face
It`s for rain that I`m praying
To fall on the whole human race
