All that I have is a river
The river is always my home
Lord, take me away
For I just cannot stay
Or Iâll sink in my skin and my bones
The water sustains me without even trying
The water canât drown me, Iâm done
With my dying
Please help me build a small boat
One thatâll ride on the flow
Where the river runs deep
And the larger fish creep
Iâm glad of what keeps me afloat
The water sustains me without even trying
The water canât drown me, Iâm done
With my dying
Now deeper the water I sail
And faster the current Iâm in
That each night brings the stars
And the song in my heart
Is a tune for the journeymanâs tale
The water sustains me without even trying
The water canât drown me, Iâm done
With my dying
Now the land that I knew is a dream
And the line on the distance grows faint
So wide is my river
The horizon a sliver
The artist has run out of paint
The water sustains me without even trying
The water canât drown me, Iâm done
With my dying
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
And the big yellow sun leads me home
Iâm everywhere now
The way is a vow
To the wind of each breath by and by
The water sustains me without even trying
The water canât drown me, Iâm done
With my dying
