[English]

We go river running

Deep blue indigo

Feels so close to fallin'

You're more than you know

Burn bright firefly

So glow, do or die

We go river running

Hold on to what you've got

Let go of what you're not

Hold on to what you've got

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

...

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

...

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

(If you need me)

...

(If you need me)

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

...

(If you need me)

...

We go silver surfing

Reach out in the night

Sunrise early morning

In fluorescent light

Burn bright firefly

So glow, do or die

We go river running

Hold on to what you've got

Let go of what you're not

Hold on to what you've got

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

...

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

...

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

(If you need me)

...

(If you need me)

Living ain't easy

Call if you need me

...

(If you need me)

...
