To the River

They are master and slave
We are sunlight and shadow
All roads to the river
I am lost, I am saved
I'm beloved and betrayed
All roads to the river
And the river runs wide
And the river runs deep (runs deep)
And I spit in the eye
Of safe company
When I dive right down (dive right down)
To the undertow (undertow)
Well, the deeper I drown
Lord, the higher I will go

I am whisperin' dreams
I am howling revolutions
All roads to the river
I am valentine sweet
And I live in this nightmare
All roads to the river
And the river runs wide
And the river runs deep (runs deep)
And I spit in the eye
Of safe company
When I dive right down (dive right down)
To the undertow (To the undertow)
Well, the deeper I drown
Lord, the higher I will go

Nothin' like we planned
That's the way it's always been
All roads to the river
I have hated and I have loved
I have prayed and I have sinned
All roads to the river
And the river runs wide
And the river runs deep (And the river runs deep)
And I spit in the eye
Of safe company
When I dive right down (dive down)
To the undertow (undertow)
Well, the deeper I drown
Lord, the higher I will go
