The Crane Wives - River Rushing Lyrics

The Crane Wives Lyrics

"River Rushing"

Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I'm changing, I'm changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It's time to free the river rushing

Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I'm changing, I'm changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It's time to free the river rushing

I've come to crave the freedom of relief
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
My wild heart is buried underneath
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
Oh, I know I can't grow 'neath the weight of a story so old

Hold yourself steady
Whenever you're ready

Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I'm changing, I'm changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It's time to free the river rushing

Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I'm changing, I'm changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It's time to free the river rushing

Oh I crave the freedom from belief
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
A battle cry is trapped between my teeth
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
I know I can't grow with a hand around my throat

Hold yourself steady
Whenever you're ready

Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I'm changing, I'm changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It's time to free the river rushing

Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I'm changing, I'm changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It's time to free the river rushing
