"River Rise" lyrics

"River Rise"
(feat. Michael McDonald)

It's light in California
The voices are speaking low
And the wheels line up
Pointing the direction they want to go

The cold is hanging on now
The heat will be here soon
And those same old thoughts
Coming back around like a black moon

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the walls come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today

The golden light surrounding
A sea of humanity
And the wind has its own language
Spoken by the trees

Diamonds shine forever
Underneath a twilight sky
And the day grows dim
I start to believe always one more try

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the walls come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today

Coming in too fast
For an easy landing
It's out of my heart
It's out of my head (wish I could rule the scoreboard)
It's out of my hands (but it's out of my hands)

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the walls come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today

Let the river rise
Let the clock run out
(Let the clock run out)
Let the river rise
(Let it rise)
Let the clock run out
