Rivers Run - Brad Strause

I am your Mother In my womb you've seen a universe Precious life, now I bring you into my world Fear, love and pain are your guides Can I provide a sanctuary To shield you from a world that preys Angels from heaven pray See your children through the day For knowing the coming Tomorrow's ways Demons await where the mighty rivers run Children, sail on Head for home Through the wild night, sail on... Mother will you keep me, hold me? Father, be there, strong for me Demons await where the mighty rivers run Children, sail on, sail on Holy Angels, rest on high For tomorrow, sanctify!

We were young and so free World was at our feet We were invincible We thought we'd always be Playing music Going heart to heart I was thought that you win all I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run We had fun,we had time We had fashion on our side We were unstoppable And never saw the signs Glasgow to London Travelin' town to town Nothing ever brougth us down I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run Listen awhile,I think of you And wonder how you are I hope that time's been good to you I hope that all your dreams came true,'cause I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run Where the rivers run

I'm in for exhaustion with days ending like this Wanting the best just puts me under pressure Cracked and soulless My faith wasn't like this And it has me wondering why I even made the effort Now I'm forced to change it up I just have to face it all head on 'Cause I'm forced to change it up I just have to face it all head on I've been on guard, I know that the answer awaits in the darkness But who would've thought you wouldn't be here to keep your promise We've seen from the start We've known that the enemy awaits in forces But who would've thought that I couldn't lean on you for long Gotta get back Whatever I need To handle this alone and embrace what's to come 'Cause you never kept track of all that you feel Trusted the unknown, embraced what's to come And I never wanted to lead you here So far from where we got started But I need to make it clear That I'm forced to change it up I just have to face it all head on I've been on guard, I know that the answer awaits in the darkness But who would've thought you wouldn't be here to keep your promise We've seen from the start We've known that the enemy awaits in forces But who would've thought that I couldn't lean on you for long I've been on guard I couldn't lean on you for long But who would've thought that I couldn't lean on you for long We've seen from the start I couldn't lean on you for long But who would've thought that I couldn't lean on you for long
