[Intro]
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know that the river so cold

[Verse 1]
Through tired eyes, everything gets magnified
You see no way in, no way out
Once you were invincible, like Levi's original
Now you fear you're losing the fight
Don't lose your love of life
'Cause it's just one small step at a time
If you lose your faith, you can always use mine
Argue if you like
But you know I'm right

[Chorus]
From the darkest deep into the brightest light
From the lowest low into the highest high
You'll rise
Baby, you'll rise

Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know, many miles to go
But I
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side
River so cold
[Verse 2]
River so cold
When the skies go gray and you lose your way
Don't lose your love of this life
It's just one of those days, one of those grays
The stars will still come out tonight

[Chorus]
From the darkest deep into the brightest light
From the lowest low into the highest high
You'll rise
Baby, you'll rise

Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know, many miles to go
But I
I'll be by your side

Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know, many miles to go
But I
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side
River so cold

[Outro]
River so cold
Don't be afraid
This promise I made I will keep
Before I sleep
Before I sleep
Before I sleep
