Lyrics

At night I pray to rise before the sun is up
For a moment to myself and the fading memory of my dreams

I wipe my eyes and I fill my cup
And try to pray for someone else, cause I have everything I need

Then daylight spills across the room and the work of yesterday resumes
Mistakes are made in every plan to face all that the day demands
I can only hope to grow and learn to let it go

And live like a river flows
And let love be like water flooding everywhere I go
And give with all my heart and soul
Surrendering to everything I know I can’t control
And know my life is not my own

I step into the air and I hold my breath
One foot before the next, and make my way on down the streets

And ask myself why I just can’t connect
Because I see myself in every stranger that I meet

The drifters and the orphan boys
The businessman collecting toys
The outlaws with their smoking guns
The princes and the favorite sons
It’s who I am, it’s what I’ve done
So for each and every one

I’ll live like a river flows
And let love be like water flooding everywhere I go
And give with all my heart and soul
Surrendering to everything I know I can’t control
And know my life is not my own

Oh it’s a promise I’ve made
But will I do anything to keep my word?
Or will I just be too afraid to free the voice inside me that’s dying to be heard

Singing live like a river flows
And let love be like water flooding everywhere I go
And give with all my heart and soul
Surrendering to everything I know I can’t control
And know
My life is not my own
