Let The River In

The coldest night came in the spring

The final frost was late again

We draft the roof, froze the roots, killed the flowers

And stole the color from the sun

Oh, let the river in, burst the dams and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of man can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Let the river in, nature plays, nature wins

You held onto my hands like a vice

You turned the screw, turned them white

But there's a point, there's a limit where we break

The current finds the quickest way

So, let the river in, burst the dams and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of man can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Let the river in, nature plays, nature wins

(I hear the breaking of bricks and mortar)

(I feel the rhythm of the water)

I hear the breakin' of bricks and mortar

I feel the rhythm of the water

Oh, let the river in, burst the dams and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of man can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Oh, let the river in, nature plays and nature wins

So, let the river in, burst the dams and start again

Oh, let the river in, the will of man can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin

Oh, let the river in, nature plays, nature wins
