Can't talk till I've crawled around
Won't stand up so don't push me down
You won't hear a heart beat
Till I left it out
If I cherish everyday
Every word you throw my way
When I've taken you to my defense
I'll be torn to pieces in the end
Like a willow in the wind
As it brushes by me now
We've been married to the drown we made
Tapped out by the road we lay
All the rivers
All the rivers I have cried
Tryin' to rise to higher ground
All the rivers
All the rivers have run dry
You gotta free me
No way to turn this ship around
Still sinkin' times runnin' out
The heart beats like a rhythm
No silence going down
Like a candle in the night
As we slowly fade away
We been melting down our souls to die
With our eyes still open wide
When the words just slip away
And you can't communicate
Listen to the voices in your head
Holdin' out right to the end
All the rivers
All the rivers I have cried
Tryin' to rise to higher ground
All the rivers
All the rivers have run dry
You gotta free me
When the words just slip away
And you can't communicate
Listen to the voices in your head
Holdin' out right till the end
All the rivers
All the rivers I have cried
Tryin' to rise to higher ground
All the rivers
All the rivers have run dry
You gotta free me
All the rivers
All the rivers yeah
Tryin' to rise to higher ground
Ooh oh oh oh
All the rivers
All the rivers yeah
You gotta free me
