Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two, three, four
By the river
One, two, three, four
[Verse 2]
By the river
Through the summer
I waited patiently
You had promised
With all your power
To come and rescue me
To come and set me free
[Verse 3]
And you were runnin'
Through the valley
Headin' straight for me
My mind was shakin'
But I was ready
For you to rescue me
For you to set me free
[Verse 4]
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hey
[Verse 5]
I found a letter
Floating in a bottle
Being washed away to the sea
Penned by freedom
Addressed to no one
For who now could it be?
[Verse 6]
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hey
[Verse 7]
I saw a vision
Some kind of apparition
But it felt so real, so free
I heard conversation
A faint deliberation
For who now could it be?
For anyone but me
[Verse 8]
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hey
[Verse 9]
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
Hoo, oh
[Verse 10]
Somethin' fell apart in me
As I watched my soul depart from me
When I fade into eternity
I'm free
[Verse 11]
Somethin' fell apart in me
As I watched my soul depart from me
When I fade into eternity
I'm free
[Verse 12]
Somethin' fell apart in me
As I watched my soul depart from me
When I fade into eternity
I'm free
[Verse 13]
Somethin' fell apart in me
As I watched my soul depart from me
Now I fade into eternity
I'm free
[Verse 14]
Somethin' fell apart in me
As I watched my soul depart from me
When I fade into eternity
I'm free
