Gently We Row
Lyricist:Melissa Etheridge
When my soul crashed into my body Falling into consciousness That's when my mind began this illusion Of taking it step after step
I looked into mother's eyes I said tell me what I should believe She drew me a room with a light Said just turn it off when you leave
Slow, slow, this river is slow We're all out here all on our own Row, row, gently we row And one day we'll find our way home
Step after step, they drew me a town They drew me a fear and a need They drew me a God and they drew me some money Hiding the truth far from me
I asked the cool firelight Tell me what I should believe They gave me a song and they gave me a dance And said, sleep now, your pain we'll relieve
Slow, slow, this river is slow And we're all out here all on our own Row, row, gently we row Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And one day we'll find our way home
I have stumbled and crawled, I beg to know why I've been ashamed when I've chosen to lie In all of this darkness I have searched for a light To come and find me and when I found me
I wrapped my arms 'round my own daughter As she fell into her place and time And as her mind creates her illusions I won't complicate hers with mine
She looked into her mother's eyes She said tell me what I should believe And I drew her a door and I drew her a key And I said when you're ready can you come and find me And we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new day
Slow, slow, this river is slow And you are never out here on your own, no Row, row, gently we row Oh, and together we'll find our way
Slow, slow, this river is slow And life is not what it seems Row, row, gently we row The truth is it's only a dream
