Gently We Row Lyrics

Intro:
us4
When my soul crashed into my body
Falling into consciousness
That's when my mind began this illusion
Of taking it step after step
I looked into mother's eyes
I said tell me what I should believe
She drew me a room with a light
said just turn it off when you leave
Chorus:
Slow, slow, this river is slow
We're all out here on our own
Row, row, gently we row
One day we'll find our way home
Step after step they drew me a town
they drew me a fear and a need
They drew me a god, and they drew me some money
hiding the truth far from me
I asked the cool fire light
Tell me, what I should believe, they
gave me a song and they gave me a dance, and said
sleep now your pain will relieve
I've stumbled and crawled I've begged to know why
and I've been a-shamed when I've chosen to lie
In all of this darkness I have searched for a light
to come and find me
ss4
And when I found me
I wrapped my arms round my own daughter
as she fell into her place and time
and as her mind creates her illusions
I won't complicate hers with mine
She looked into her mother's eyes
su
she said tell me what I should believe
And I drew her a door and I drew her a key
and I said when you're ready you'll come and find me
and we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new
dayyyyyyyyyyy
Slow, slow, this river is slow
ss4
And you're never out here on our own
Row, row, gently we row
And together we'll find our way.
Slow, slow, this river is slow
Life is not what it seems
Row, row, gently we row
The truth is
It's only a dream
