The River And The Fear

I was running without looking back
Just because I could only go like that
I passed by people, children, adults
I was leaving animals, villages, memories, doubts
There was no more time to give up

I thought of everything I carried with me
Dismay pervaded so strongly within

I was a river
Wrapped in insane emotion
Doomed to disappear when facing the ocean

I used to live without this thought
That soon I would leave no matter how I had fought
I squirmed, I tried to go back
But no, I just couldn’t, nobody can go back
And everytime the rain came gently and free
Touching my skin I felt so peaceful to be
To be water as well
I realized the moment coming to me
Dismay pervaded so strongly within

I was a river
Wrapped in insane emotion
Doomed to disappear
I was a river
Wrapped in insane emotion
Doomed to disappear when facing the ocean

Then I saw in front of me what I feared
I broke down, couldn’t breathe and another way it couldn’t be
I couldn’t stop
I didn’t think of anything
I went through the night, there were no wings
And all that I carried, everything
Was about to fall down

I was a river
And I didn’t have the notion
That I would beautifully become the ocean
So the night fell
The sun came to tell
And I saw the ocean was myself
