River

When you're swallowed by the river
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
When you're swallowed by the river

Drowning again I hear you gasping
This is what happens when you're back in the rapids
Just hold on a little bit more the seasons will change as they've always done before
One day when winter finally thaws the ice caps melt and the birds start to call
The water will rise and walls crash in leaving you no time to learn how to swim
See you've always known how to heal everybody else
But you never even thought to try and save yourself
It's too late now the river in hungry
But I won't let you go under
No I won't let you go under

When you're swallowed by the river
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
When you're swallowed by the river

Little beasts with bruises on our knees building sand castles and swinging from the trees
Sometimes the fun drew tears and blood but that was how you showed me what I was made of
You wiped my tears and pulled up my chin said listen up child you're a bird in the wind
I wanna be there let me have my turn i will kiss your wounds i will soothe your burns
You can put on armour for the rest of the world
But just remember when you're with me to take it off of your shoulders
It's not too late the river is hungry
I won't let you go under
No I won't let you go under

When you're swallowed by the river
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
I'll be your hero
When you're swallowed by the river
