Oh, I thought we were a river So freezing and pure Put your mind to the mountain And we'll push a way through And when there was little less of you And a little more of me Put my mind to the mountain I will carry us to the sea ♪ Yeah, I thought we were a river Running out to the sea Put your hand on my chest now Can you slow my heart beating? And when were was a little less of me And a little more of you Put your mind to the mountain Find a fissure and push a way through 'Cause I am not a river I am not the sea I am the land That the river made out of me ♪ Oh, and sometimes the river Is a plentiful lake Then the same conversations And the levy does break But if you only ever think about the river If you only ever dwell upon that sea You may never see the beauty Of the tumbling scree I won't lock my eyes on the river I will let it wash over me I won't pin my fate to the scurrilous sea 'Cause I am not a river I am not the sea I am the land that the river made out of me And I am not a river I'm not the sea I am the land that the river made out of me ♪ Oh, I'm not a river Oh, I'm not the sea I am the land that the river Has made out of me Oh, I'm not the river Oh, I'm not the sea I am the man that the river Has made out of me
