[Verse 1]
I'm alone in a corner of a one-room apartment
Dirty windows let the light in through my fingers
And make patterns on the carpet
Heavy footsteps on the ceiling
And the sirens in the distance
Drown the sound of playing children
I'm alone here in a crowd of seven million

[Pre-Chorus]
I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me

[Chorus]
So I follow the river
So I follow the river
And I'm gonna catch the wind
'Cause I'm dying to begin
So I follow the, the river
(Follow the river, follow the river)

[Verse 2]
There's a heartbeat out in these streets
Yeah, there's a bonfire that's set a light inside me
There's no army that can stop me
Watch how strong I'm gonna be when they said I couldn't be
[Pre-Chorus]
I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me

[Chorus]
So I follow the river
So I follow the river
And I'm gonna catch a wind
'Cause I'm dying to begin
So I follow the river (Follow the river)

[Bridge]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Follow the river
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
Follow the river
Follow the river
I know there's more to life than this
'Cause something's calling me
