Lyrics
THE RIVER IN YOU
[Intro โ water ambience, intimate female whisper]
You stood beside the river
and watched it pass.
But what if
you were never standing
outside of it?
[Verse 1]
You watched the water
moving through the stone
Following a road
that nobody had shown
You heard the current
calling out to sea
And wondered how the river
knew where it should be
You thought you were watching
something passing through
But all that time...
the river
was flowing through you
[Pre-Chorus]
In every breath
In every tear
In every drop
that brought you here
You drew a line
between the view
And the one
who's looking through
[Chorus]
THE RIVER IS FLOWING THROUGH YOU
THE OCEAN IS CLOSER
THAN YOU EVER KNEW
RAIN IN YOUR BLOOD
SKY IN YOUR TEARS
WATER THAT'S TRAVELLED
A BILLION YEARS
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
FOLLOW IT THROUGH
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
KNOW WHAT TO DO
YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE
WATCHING THE RIVER...
BUT THE RIVER
WAS WATCHING THROUGH YOU
[Verse 2]
How many oceans
have touched this skin?
How many clouds
have the drops within?
How many winters
have frozen this rain?
How many summers
released it again?
No memory carried
No story remained
Still every molecule
entered the chain
Different bodies
Different names
The water moves on
The shape is changed
[Pre-Chorus]
So when I say
"This is me"
Where do I draw
the boundary?
At my fingertips?
At my skin?
Where does outside end...
and I begin?
[Chorus]
THE RIVER IS FLOWING THROUGH YOU
THE OCEAN IS CLOSER
THAN YOU EVER KNEW
RAIN IN YOUR BLOOD
SKY IN YOUR TEARS
WATER THAT'S TRAVELLED
THROUGH COUNTLESS YEARS
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
FOLLOW IT THROUGH
THE CURRENT ALREADY
KNOWS WHAT TO DO
YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE
LOOKING AT WATER...
BUT WATER
WAS LOOKING THROUGH YOU
[Bridge โ almost silent]
Maybe that's why
the river feels familiar.
Maybe not because
you've been there before...
but because
there has never been
a moment
when water
wasn't part of you.
[Pause]
You drink the rain.
You breathe out the ocean.
You cry the river.
And still you ask...
where the water ends.
[Music begins rising]
[Final Chorus]
LET THE RIVER FLOW THROUGH ME
LET ME STOP PRETENDING
I'M SEPARATE FROM THE SEA
LET THE RAIN FALL DOWN
LET THE WATER RISE
LET THE OCEAN
REFLECT IN MY EYES
I DON'T NEED
TO OWN THE FLOW
I DON'T NEED
TO TELL IT WHERE TO GO
I'M NOT THE RIVER
I'M NOT THE SEA
I'M THIS MOMENT
WHERE WATER
MOVES THROUGH ME
[Outro โ rain and heartbeat]
You asked:
"Where does the river begin?"
Maybe...
not somewhere out there.
[Whisper]
Listen.
[Heartbeat]
It's flowing
through you.
