With our hands held
Held together
We will go to
To the water
With our hands held
Held together
Do I hear silence?
Or do I recognize the absence of sound?
What the ears don’t hear
What the eyes don’t see
We call invisible
What the ears don’t hear and the eyes don’t see
While the proud lie
On the riverbed
Like fish outta water
We’ll be caught in the currents
On our way to the sea
And this moment although fleeting
Could last on forever
I will take a mental picture
To keep company
Do I fear violence?
If I could just release this mental hold
I have on life and listen
to the the rhythm
To the rhythm that is me
What the ears don’t hear
what the eyes don’t see
While the proud lie
On the riverbed
Like fish outta water (water)
We’ll be caught in the currents
On our way to the sea (way to the sea)
And this moment although fleeting
Could last on forever
I will take a mental picture
To keep company
I will take a mental picture
-solo section-
Feeling it calling
I’m feeling it
Feeling it calling
I’m feeling it (I will seize)
Feeling it calling
I’m feeling it (I will seize)
(repeat)
While the proud lie
On the riverbed
Like fish outta water
We’ll be caught in the currents
On our way to the sea
And this moment although fleeting
Could last on forever
I will take a mental picture
To keep me company
I will take a mental picture
To go down the river
To go down the river to the sea
I will take a mental picture
To go down the river
To go down the river to the sea
We will go to
To the water
With our hands held
Held together
We will go to
To the water
With our hands held
Held together
