The River

If you gonna sneak off to the side where no one knows
 I won't always rush to bring you home
 And you may find yourself all alone
 Sentimental emotion burns inside of you and me
 I've never been good at letting go
 But I do my best to let you know
 The river is wide
 The river is wide
 But I think you can cross
 It's so much to hold
 So much to hold
 For someone on their own
 But maybe you've been waiting to be told:
 If it gets easier to be out on your own
 It isn't strange to want to be alone
 Hard to be seen, hard to be known
 Cause you don't need permission to walk among the trees
 They will get smaller as you grow
 And you may find yourself in a home
 The river is wide
 The river is wide
 But I think you can cross
 It's so much to hold
 So much to hold
 For someone on their own
 But maybe you've been waiting to be told:
 Have you been waiting to be told?
 Have you been waiting to be told?
 Have you been waiting to be told?
 That you can do this on your own
