River
Emeli Sandé Lyrics

If you're looking for the big adventure,
If you're seeking a grand venture, that is larger than life.

And gold is all that's on your mind,
If the only thing on your mind is riches and materialistic possessions.

If all you want's someone to take your picture,
If you are only searching for someone to capture your perfect moments in a photograph.

Then I won't waste your time
I won't keep you waiting or hold you back from your goals.

See maybe I'm too quiet for ya,
It's possible that I may be too introverted for your taste.

You probably never noticed me,
It's likely that you haven't taken notice of me before.

But if you're too big to follow rivers,
If your ego and sense of self-importance prevent you from following the path to enlightenment.

How you ever gonna find the seas
How will you ever discover the vast ocean of knowledge and understanding?

So follow me, I'll be your river river,
Join me on the journey, and I will be your guide and source of motivation.

I'll do the running for ya, follow me,
Let me take the lead, and I will pave the way for you to follow.

I'll be your river river, I'll move the mountains for ya,
I will serve as your support system and help overcome any obstacles in your way.

I'm here to keep you floating, follow me,
I am here to keep you afloat and prevent you from drowning in life's challenges.

If all you want are answers to your questions,
If you're seeking answers to life's mysteries and are frustrated by the lack of clarity.

And you can't seem to find no love for free,
If you are struggling to find love without sacrificing your true self or paying a price.

If you're looking for the right direction,
If you are searching for guidance in the right path to take in life.

Then darling look for me
Then seek me out, and I will provide you the direction you need.

See, I can't make the load much lighter,
While I cannot bear your burden for you, I can help make it more bearable.

I just need you to confide in me,
Place your trust in me and open up about your struggles and fears.

But if you're too proud to follow rivers,
If your pride and ego prevent you from learning and growing.

How you ever gonna find the sea
You won't be able to discover the vast ocean of knowledge and understanding without first following the path.

Wherever you're standing I will be by your side,
I promise to always be there to support you, no matter the circumstance.

Through the good through the bad, I'll never be hard to find
I will remain a constant in your life, even during the tough times.

So follow me, I'll be your river river
Join me in my journey, and I will serve as your guide and motivation.

I'm here to keep you floating, follow me,
I will support you and keep you afloat, as long as you follow me.

I'll be your river river, river river yeah
I will constantly be there to lead and support you on your journey.
