The River's Gonna Rise (Myhre 2012)
Verse 1
Each line has a story
Carried on by years
Each time we remember
Another line appears
The wages are many
For the ones that we've paid
The cages are plenty
For mistakes along the way

Chorus
The River's Gonna Rise
We can feel it inside
The River's Gonna Rise
There's nowhere to hide

Verse 2
Each day has many
Trials to withstand
Each night is filled
With demons in our heads
The weight of a memory
Is more than the scale
The heart of an enemy
Beats just as well

Chorus

Solo

Verse 3
The way to move forward
Is sometimes in reverse
The way to see better
Is to shut our eyes tight
Shine on us sun
And burn away our shame
Shine on us sun
So we can learn to run

Chorus
Cause the River's Gonna Rise
We can Feel it Inside
The river's gonna rise
There's nowhere to hide
