Thrice - A Branch in the River lyrics

I was holding on to a branch in the river
So scared of letting go
And praying only that someone
Would stop the flow
I heard a voice like the sound of
An ocean - above the river's rush
A song as old as the world
And my heart was hushed
And I could hear it calling to me

"Let go now, it'll be ok
Let go, and let yourself be carried away
Carried away let go of all your certainty
Let go, and let yourself be carried to Me
Carried to Me"

Still I clung to that branch
In the river, white-knuckled, terrified
All of my life I'd been
Warned that the waters lied
Something changed as the flood rose around
Me and washed away my fear
An echo rose from within -
It was crystal clear
And I could hear it calling to me

"Let go now, it'll be ok
Let go, and let yourself be carried away
Carried away let go of all your certainty
Let go, and let yourself be carried to Me
Carried to Me" so let it go

You're holding on to that
Branch in the river, so scared of letting go
You're praying only that someone
Would stop the flow but hear the voice
It's a chorus in motion -
Conflate the I and we
Weaving along with the song
Of the endless sea
The song that's always calling to you

"Let go now, it'll be ok
Let go, and let yourself be carried away
Carried away let go of all your certainty
Let go, and let yourself be carried to Me
Carried to Me carried to Me"
