Like a vision she stepped out And all the fear that fed his doubt Just surrendered to the hour The bridesmaids and the flowers The promises they made before the gathered here todays Well I crept through the reception Like a child freshly scorned I caught up with all my old friends Tending to their newborns I thought I could have cried But all my ghosts laid down and died
I'm ready to go my way River life take your knife and cut these tethered weights Cut them free Let me be the way that I must be Let things flow where they must go Into the dark unknown
Mother will I disappoint you If I can't make it back upstream I am fighting, I am fighting But I don't make the team
Son I've stood here by your father Over 30 some odd years If there's one thing I should tell you You have to face your own fear Whether married or alone, you are always on your own
I'm ready to go my way River life take your knife and cut these tethered weights Cut them free Let me be the way that I must be Let things flow where they must go Into the dark unknown
