[Intro] Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Down the river, river Down the river, river [Verse 1] We pushed a rowboat out at dusk No fear, no noise, no need to rush Mountains standing tall on either side Like quiet truths we used to hide Bare trees reached through the painted sky Black against the gold and fire And every ripple caught the light Like the world still knew how to be kind [Pre-Chorus] We didn’t need to say a word The silence felt like something heard Somewhere in that amber glow Was the life we used to know [Chorus] Take me back to the river, river Golden light, make it shimmer, shimmer We were whole when the world moved slow Now we’re lost but we still know There’s a way, there’s a way back home Past the noise, past the hearts turned stone Take me back to the feeling we forgot To the river, river we forgot [Post-Chorus] River, river, take me there Sunset fire in the air Hold on, hold on, don’t let go Back to the heart we used to know River, river, carry on Bring back what the world’s lost on Oh-oh, oh-oh The river we forgot [Verse 2] Now the current feels a little rough Everybody’s talking, no one’s listening enough We turn every difference into a fight Trade human hands for a flashing light We drift so far from what was real From simple trust, from how it feels To sit beside another soul And not divide the beautiful [Pre-Chorus] But the mountains still remain Beyond the anger, past the blame And underneath the hardest dark There’s still a quiet, beating heart [Chorus] Take me back to the river, river Golden light, make it shimmer, shimmer We were whole when the world moved slow Now we’re lost but we still know There’s a way, there’s a way back home Past the noise, past the hearts turned stone Take me back to the feeling we forgot To the river, river we forgot [Post-Chorus] River, river, take me there Sunset fire in the air Hold on, hold on, don’t let go Back to the heart we used to know River, river, carry on Bring back what the world’s lost on Oh-oh, oh-oh The river we forgot [Bridge] Put your hands back on the oars Leave the battle at the shore Let the evening teach us how To be less broken than we are now No, we don’t need a louder cry We need truth we can recognize A slower breath, an open door A reason to believe once more [Breakdown] Row slow Breathe deep Let go Believe Past the fear Past the flood Back to light Back to love [Final Chorus] Take me back to the river, river Golden light, make it shimmer, shimmer We were whole when the world moved slow Now we’re lost but we still know There’s a way, there’s a way back home Past the noise, past the hearts turned stone Take me back to the feeling we forgot To the river, river we forgot [Final Post-Chorus] River, river, take me there Sunset fire in the air Hold on, hold on, don’t let go Back to the heart we used to know River, river, carry on Bring back what the world’s lost on Oh-oh, oh-oh The river we forgot [Outro] Down the river, river Golden light forever If we want it, if we try We can still turn with the tide River, river Take us home
