River Child

Soaking up the sun
Up above the tree we used to climb
Sorting out stones
I picked up from the ground

Before the storm brought the mountain down
Life made sense from the summit

River child
River child
You lay here now

I've been loyal to you
Couldn't let go if i wanted to
Scared of the unknown
But I outgrew you

Before the storm brought the mountain down
Life made sense from the summit

River child
River child
You lay here now
Oh River child

I will miss you
But you're with me and every time I look down
At the stream you're calling home now
Your tales still live in the woods
I share them now water in my eyes
Happy to see through yours

Water in my eyes
