Rivers to the Sea

Sweep the floor of all my sins

Wonderful to be

But the ground is hard

And the flood don’t sleep

Rivers to the sea.

 

Standing up my legs feel strong

Wonderful to see

But the ground is soft

And my knees are weak

Rivers to the sea

 

[Chorus]

And I’m here all alone

No one there on the phone

And I don’t know what happens to me

Rivers to the sea

 

Now the tide is out and the shore is bare

But there’s life beneath the stones

Turned one over and I found peace there

Rivers to the sea.

 

[Chorus]

But this soul that I own

Says I’m never alone

And brings back my senses to me

Rivers to the sea

 

The ancient scars fall off my skin

And finally, I’m free

The sky is open

And my heart is clean

Rivers to the sea.
