Lyrics:

[English]

Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely

And some days I am too proud to ask for help

And I stumble through the noise trying to find some peace

A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself

So I walk down to the river

Where the troubles, they can't find me

Let the waters there remind me

The sun will be there when we wake

I walk down to the river

Though I might not understand it

It's not always as we planned it

But we grow stronger when we break

So I walk down to the river

I walk down to the river

This raging world can get so overwhelming

Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense

In my head, it's getting loud like I can't outrun this cloud

No matter where I go, well there I am

So I walk down to the river

Where the troubles, they can't find me

Let the waters there remind me

The sun will be there when we wake

I walk down to the river

Though I might not understand it

It's not always as we planned it

But we grow stronger when we break

So I walk down (walk down) to the river (down)

I walk down (walk down) to the river (down)

Let the calm pull me under

Far beyond the thunder

And tell me it will all be okay

Let the waves take all my worries

Conquer them with fury

Give me shelter, be my escape

I walk down to the river

Where the troubles, they can't find me

Let the waters there remind me

The sun will be there when we wake

I walk down to the river

Though I might not understand it

It's not always as we planned it

But we grow stronger when we break

So I walk down (walk down) to the river (down)

I walk down (walk down) to the river (down)

I walk down to the river (down)

I walk down to the river, to the river (down)

To the river

I walk down, oh, oh, oh, oh

To the river, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
