The River
Daily Bread Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These waters are moving along, I'm moving on too
And I'm waiting for the moment to come, where you get in too
It feels like if, it feels like if
You're dismayed to
Dream on in, dream on in
The scene I'm running through

These waters are moving along, I'm moving on too
Deep waters are there to reveal, we have to choose to
Face hardship, face hardship
We have to slide through
To climb higher, move faster
We have to ensue

Cause I need your love
And I need your spiral senses for us
And I feel your love, but you're holding on, you're counting on the gush
And I need your love, to light upon
The stream we're floating on

These waters are moving along, I'm moving on too
And I'm waiting for the moment to come, where you get in too
It feels like if, it feels like if
You're dismayed to
Dream on in, dream on in
The scene I'm running through

Cause I need your love
And I need your spiral senses for us
And I feel your love, but you're holding on, you're counting on the gush
And I need your love, to light upon
The stream we're floating on

Cause I need your love
And I need your spiral senses for us
And I feel your love, but you're holding on, you're counting on the gush
And I need your love, to light upon




The stream we're floating on
The stream we're floating on

This was a very good band! I have seen them play in Hedon Zwolle in 2008/2009 I think. They where really nice! It is a long time ago, but I remember that I liked them very much. This song is also very good! The singer is very unique and the vibe of this song works strong! It was also very nice to hear them on national radio. This videoclip is also very cool! The parts where those people jumping is very fascinating! It kept me wonder what will happen next!
