The Last River

This is the last river that I must cross
The last cross that I must bear
The last bear that I must wrestle
Before I get back to you

Stepping out onto the rock
I recognise my burden
Dive into the River the still clear calmness
Shock of the journey, fall into nothing

Shoes are filled with water
Will My fears drag me down
Into the Cold dark places full of secret things
The struggle to breathe the fight to be

This is the last river that I must cross
The last cross that I must bear
The last bear that I must wrestle
Before I get back to you

I made friends with darkness
I made friends with fear
Now I'm gonna bring my friends home
Yeah now we're coming home

We're seven stories deep
I think about you in my sleep
You're like water flowing around the rocks
Clear and clean and cool

They say that Hope springs eternal
I hope I wash my sins away
Narrow paths and hard choices
But my heart is set and my mind is made

This is the last river that I must cross
The last cross that I must bear
The last bear that I must wrestle
Before I get back to you
