“river drift” Lyrics

It seems that in the end, you say goodbye to all your friends

And all your thoughts and memories then will fade away

And when I’m old and grey I hope I’m not the last to stay

My heart can’t carry all the weight without a break

And in this blessed life, I hope I love more than I fight

And show some kindness to the world every day

And in this test of time, I hope the path I choose is right

And all my flaws and troubled ways become my strength

So much pressure in perfecting perfection

Just a gesture to eliminate detection

We won’t lose control

In an age of material possession

Out of phase with the overall intentions

They can’t rule us all

‘Cause right now is on time

Free the haze from the days left behind

Don’t playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life

To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind

And right then I’ll be fine

Such an honor to have known them in life

In light, in life

To have known them in life, in light, in life

If you walk a crooked line it’s hard to leave a trail behind

Except for those you did defy with your mistakes

To understand the truth you must let go and live to choose

Our options seem to disappear without a trace

‘Cause down some winding road you’ll find a place that you call home

A drifter drifts until they stop and wanna stay

In search of a good time can leave reality behind

Blindly balancing the line for an escape 

So much pressure in perfecting perfection

Just a gesture to eliminate detection

We won’t lose control

In an age of material possession

Out of phase with the overall intentions

They can’t rule us all

I’ve been running all around with no purpose to me

Still, I find the strength to pick me up onto my feet

The golden road not just cold stone will lead me to my peace

To rock and roll this drifting soul and finally find relief

‘Cause right now is on time

Free the haze from the days left behind

Don’t playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life

To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind

And right then I’ll be fine

Such an honor to have known them in life

In light, in life

To have known them in life

In light, in life

To have known them in life

In light, in life

To have known them in life

In life, in life
