River Song
J-Wow & Sui Zhen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing but a trickle
And when that winter comes
I'm not weak and fickle
The granite schist
Oh what a feast
Slide us down
Learn to love
The path we are on
Land on the hillside
Or land in the pond
And when we land
We land by grace
We're all going
To the same place
To the same, to the same
River sing your song for me
River deliver me to the sea
And so we're here
Gathered near
Swim beside me
You'll have no fear
And when we find
The sun above
He'll turn our molecules
Into pure love
River sing your song for me
River deliver me to the sea
River we're coming to you
River we're coming to you
The song River Song by J-Wow & Sui Zhen is a celebration of the journey of life and the inevitability of change. The lyrics metaphorically compare life to a river that begins as a small trickle, raining down from the mountain tops, and gains strength as it flows to the sea. The winter that comes and the granite schist are challenges that the river faces, but despite all the obstacles, the river remains steadfast and strong.
The verse "Learn to love the path we are on, land on the hillside or land in the pond, and when we land, we land by grace. We're all going to the same place" reminds us to accept and embrace our unique journey in life, whether it leads us to success or failure. The river's path is not always predictable, and sometimes it may lead us to unexpected places or even to a dead end. But ultimately, we are all heading toward the same destination, which is represented by the sea.
The chorus "River sing your song for me, river deliver me to the sea" is a call to the river to guide us, to show us the way, and to lead us to our ultimate destination. The repetition of the phrase "River we're coming to you" emphasizes our desire to surrender to the flow of life and to trust that we will be carried safely to our destination. The song is a reminder that life is a journey, filled with twists and turns, and that it's best to embrace every moment, no matter where it takes us.
