The River

I'm alone in a corner of a one-room apartment
Dirty windows let the light in through my fingers
And make patterns on the carpet
Heavy footsteps on the ceiling
And the sirens in the distance
Drowning sound of plain children
I'm alone here in a crowd of seven million

I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me

So I follow the river
So I follow the river
And I'm gonna catch the wind
'Cause I'm dying to begin
So I follow the, the river (follow the river)
(Follow the river)

There's a heartbeat out in these streets
Yeah, there's a bonfire that's set alight inside me
There's no money that can stop me
Watch how strong I wanna be
When they said I couldn't be

I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me

So I follow the river
So follow the river
And I'm gonna catch a wind
'Cause I'm dying to begin
So follow the river

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) oh, follow the river
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) follow the river
Oh (follow the river)

I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me
