I've been alone now for ten years I know how it feels to truly miss someone It's been a long road and I talk to my old man Shakes his head and says "You ain't seen nothing yet, son" I used to think someday I'd find an easy way To get as close as i could to the sun And I know the lines are drawn There's no running from the pain No matter where you're from, rich or poor, old or young And I should thank my mother's God For giving her some faith in me You don't have to see it to believe it I look at where I'm from and the people all around me In the end, we're all searching for the same thing Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday I've been lost now for ten years I go where nobody's gonna find me I've been wandering, following the shadows Listening to the echoes from behind me As I orbit around what will only bring me down This abusive inspiration has always plagued me If I could try again and go back to when I've been I'd have to let down my guard and unlock the door and let you in And I should thank my mother's God For giving her some faith in me You don't have to see it to believe it I look at where I'm from and the people all around me In the end, we're all searching for the same thing Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday
