The River

Verse 1
There you stand
In the cradle of a wonderland
You imagine any way you can
Anything that’s better than
Just hold my hand

Chorus
Won’t you jump on in
You beautiful thing
It may be the only thing that ever redeems
Go and do
The river’s right in front of you

Verse 2
Unafraid
There’s a magic in the mess you made
‘Cause you’re a remnant of a golden age
You turn a spark into a flame
Don’t fade away

Chorus
Won’t you jump on in
You beautiful thing
It may be the only thing that ever redeems
Go and do
The river’s right in front of you

Bridge
And as we crumble from all that was
Frees the pain pouring out of us
Walls will tumble
They always do
The rivers rise and so will you

Verse 3
By design
You remember every storyline
Every molecule that fills your mind
You can leave it all behind
Just take your time

Chorus
Won’t you jump on in
You beautiful thing
It may be the only thing that ever redeems
Go and do
The river’s right in front of you
You beautiful thing
It may be the only thing that ever redeems
Go and do
The river’s right 
The river’s right
The river’s right in front of you
