River of Dreams

Well, I dunno what I've been living on here But I think the sell by date is gone fowl This rut seems to be so very deep, I fear That it has swallowed up my soul. Like an endless roundabout Every exit is de- ceased Some folk, they just stop living it out End up dying piece by piece But I swear that this is not my fate For I swear ill be so much more I'll get to the roundabout in time not late For the promise of hope is mine ashore Well this game of patience, I have played the cards too long So i think its time to fold To throw this weary hand in for a song Before I get too old Its The same old song, and dance, The records getting pretty thin I need to straighten out my road Till I'm clear from reckless sin From underneath this rock, I'm disappearing here within an ode New horizons, bring them on Am I home Where have they been all this time A thousand suns warm my soul and atone Step into the promised land and shine I'm finding it all Across the river Happiness, yes i remember this but I'm wary Though it seems so constantly so long ago It seems so very scary The thought of just letting myself go Yet look at this effervescent idyllic place I've found myself in, I waded through this soul rivers nameless face Till the waters under my chin I'm finding it all Across the river A little sacrifice then in adventure mode For the rest of my life to begin So this is my beginning new road Always moving never standing still, I win I wont put up or shut up for the law This time I need, for me Its not that I hate those before But its no longer enough you see Jump right in, the currents strong I'm in Sweeping me to where I wanna be I don't have a care i'm soaked to the skin This new seen sun will envelope me I have found it all Across the river
