If I was a river I'd carry you home And roll you in my arms so you won't be alone I would wash away your tears cut you diamonds from the stone If I was a river I would carry you home If I was a mountain I'd stand by your side I would be there in dark a place where you could hide I would guard you from the storm and my path would be your guide If I was a mountain I would stand by your side If I was an ocean I'd lie in the sun I would open up the wave and let the rivers run I would welcome all the seas 'till the waters became one If I was an ocean I would lie in the sun Wade in water blessed by the sea Wade in water come go there with me If I was a forest I would bow down my head I would stand back in the shadows and let you go instead I would offer you some shade I would offer you my bed If I was a forest I would bow down my head If I was a free man I would walk to the sea I would sever every chain until all man were free I would open every door so that all blind men could see If I was a free man I would want you with me If I was a river I'd carry you home I would roll you in my arms so you won't be alone I would wash away your tears cut you diamonds from the stone If I was a river I'd carry you home If I was a river I'd carry you home
