If you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through



You like the flame and you are drawn by desire 

Watching and waiting in line for your turn

I've learned to walk with my back to the fire

I like the heat but I don't want to get burned



And if you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through



Here stands a fortress built with great walls of silence

Ready to crumble at the slightest word

Finding the right one is becoming a science

I'd like to scream but I ain't gonna be heard



And if you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through...



What if all of these feelings

that we both buy into

melt away and disappear



If you need water

I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into

I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through

My love will carry you through

My love will carry you through
