I'm standing by the river
My feet are firmly on the ground
cfraid to release myself
From the place I've stood so long
Where does the river go from here?
Moving forward is my fear

It's time to go
It's been far too long
River, take me away
I'm leaving home
To a world unknown
That forever calls out my name
Going where I've never been
cnd I'm feeling again
I'm leaving behind what held me back
River, oh river, lead me on

The sweet release of freedom
Shamelessly letting go of doubt
The shouting and the echo
Of fear is quickly fading now
No, the river is not drowning me
The rapids and the bends
They set me free

It's time to go
It's been far too long
River, take me away
I'm leaving home
To a world unknown
That forever calls out my name
Going where I've never been
cnd I'm feeling again
I'm leaving behind what held me back
River, oh river, lead me on

From who I was
To who I'll be
cnd every tomorrow
Waiting for me

River, oh river
River, sweet river
Lead me on
