Let the River In

The coldest night
Came in the spring
The final frost
Was late again

We dried the roots,
Froze the shoots
Killed the flowers,
And stole the color from the sun

Oh, let the river in
Burst the dams and start again
Oh, let the river in
The will of men
Can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in
As the blood beneath my skin
Let the river in
Nature plays
Nature wins

You held on to my hands
Like a vice
You turn the screw
Turn them white

But, there's a point
There's a limit
Where we break
The current finds the quickest way

So, let the river in
Burst the dams and start again.
Oh, let the river in
The will of men
Can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in
As the blood beneath my skin
Let the river in
Nature plays
Nature wins

I hear the breaking of
Bricks and mortar
I feel the rhythm of the water

Oh, let the river in
Burst the dams and start again
Oh, let the river in
The will of men
Can't hold it in

Oh, let the river in
As the blood beneath my skin
Oh, let the river in
Nature plays
Nature wins
