A rather simple hard rocker. Who says it has to be complicated?
Ironically, after I wrote this song in the late 90's, I fell into a songwriting drought that lasted quite a while. Hmm...

Lyrics

River Rise

The river is on the rise
In her eyes I see her sweep away a lifetime in a day
Nature has a way of healing
Letting life make something new
Oh I, oh I, oh I, I’m new

Been running for higher ground
Found my sanctuary disappearing
Drowned with the weight of the world
Take me downstream let me swim in your tide
Take me up let me kiss the sky
Oh I, oh I, oh I, I’m alive

Rise, river rise, river rise
No turning back the changing time
Rise, river rise, river rise
You say you want me, do you
Well I want you too
Rise, river rise

Lie in the wake of the flood
Fill my soul renew my spirit take control of my heart
I never saw the sun so clearly
I never met the moon so high
So high

Rise, river rise, river rise
No turning back the changing time
Rise, river rise, river rise
You say you want me, do you
Well I want you too
Rise, river rise
