[Verse 1]
She moves steady
Same road
Same street
But her mind’s already
Running out past your reach
You tried to dam her
With your fear and need
She’s cutting channels
Through your concrete
[Chorus]
She’s a river woman
Running toward the sea
You can’t hate the water
For flowing free
You can stand beside her
Or watch her leave
But you’d be a fool
To build your house
In her path
In her path
[Verse 2]
She loves from value
Not from begging please
She don’t chase approval
She just plants her seeds
You called it crazy
When she raised her fee
Now you’re outside looking
Through her new glass keys
[Chorus]
She’s a river woman
Running toward the sea
You can’t hate the water
For flowing free
You can stand beside her
Or watch her leave
But you’d be a fool
To build your house
In her path
In her path
[Bridge]
Every “too much”
Turned into gold
Every “sit down”
Made her stand bold
She’s not your mirror
She’s her own belief
Flowing from her value
All the way to peace
[Chorus]
She’s a river woman
Running toward the sea
You can’t hate the water
For flowing free
You can stand beside her
Or watch her leave
But you’d be a fool
To build your house
In her path
In her path (oh, in her path)
