Rivers
Jack Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go left and you go right
We'll find on the other side who we are, who we are
Wish me luck and give me hope
Give me sunlight to my day
Turn it into gold, carry on, carry on
We'll take these broken songs
Put them together into something we could never lose
We're rivers in the night
I go left and you go right
We'll find on the other side who we are, who we are
Make it into something beautiful
Yeah, we don't have to try
We can make it into something wonderful
We'll never say goodbye
We can make it into something beautiful
Yeah, we dont have to try
We can make it into something wonderful
We'll never say goodbye
(Beautiful, yeah we don't have to try)
(Wonderful, yeah never say goodbye)
We're like rivers in the night
I go left and you go right
We'll find on the other side who we are, who we are
Wish me luck and give me hope
Give me sunlight to my day
Turn it into gold, carry on, carry on
We'll take these broken songs
Make them as good as new
Put them together into something we could never lose
We're rivers in the night
I go left and you go right
We'll find on the other side who we are, who we are
Into something beautiful
Yeah, we dont have to try
We can make it into something wonderful
We'll never say goodbye
We can make it into something beautiful
Yeah, we dont have to try
We can make it into something wonderful
We'll never say goodbye
We can make it into something beautiful
Yeah, we dont have to try
We can make it into something wonderful
We'll never say goodbye
(Beautiful, yeah we don't have to try)
(Wonderful, yeah never say goodbye)
We can make it into something beautiful
Yeah, we dont have to try
We can make it into something wonderful
We'll never say goodbye
The lyrics to Jack Thomas's song "Rivers" tells a story of two people who are like rivers in the night, each going their own way but still finding each other on the other side. The song speaks of the need for hope, sunlight, and turning the broken parts of our lives into something beautiful. The repetition of "We can make it into something beautiful, yeah we don't have to try, we can make it into something wonderful, we'll never say goodbye" emphasizes the power of perseverance and transformation even in times of difficulty.
Through the metaphor of rivers, the song conveys the idea of two distinct paths that converge and eventually lead to the same destination. The artist speaks of going left, while the other goes right, yet ultimately they will find themselves where they're meant to be, finding out who they truly are. The song suggests that they can take their broken dreams and aspirations, and piece them together to create something new and perfect - something that holds immense value to them and cannot be lost.
In essence, "Rivers" is a powerful reminder for anyone going through a difficult time that there is hope and light to be found at the end of the tunnel. It speaks to the idea that we have the power to make something beautiful out of even the most difficult moments in our lives.

OMG I heard this song on the radio in a cab IN POLAND and couldn't wait to get back home where my phone/internet works so I could google it! It took 20 minutes of misremembered lyrics (what is life without soundhound/shazam?!) but I found it and I am sooooooo happy!
