The Crane Wives
River Rushing
[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I’m changing, I’m changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It’s time to free the river rushing
Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I’m changing, I’m changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It’s time to free the river rushing
[Verse 1]
Oh, I crave the freedom of relief
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
My wild heart is buried underneath
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
Oh, I know I can’t grow 'neath the weight of a story so old
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold yourself steady
Whenever you’re ready
[Chorus]
Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting onе moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I’m changing, I’m changing, kick down that door
Thе pressure has been crushing
It’s time to free the river rushing
Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I’m changing, I’m changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It’s time to free the river rushing
[Verse 2]
Oh, I crave the freedom from belief
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
A battle cry is trapped between my teeth
(Only one way out, the only way is through)
I know I can't grow with a hand around my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold yourself steady
Whenever you’re ready
[Chorus]
Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I’m changing, I’m changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It’s time to free the river rushing
Striking at a wall
Not waiting, not waiting one moment more
Tonight the dam will fall
I’m changing, I’m changing, kick down that door
The pressure has been crushing
It’s time to free the river rushing
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah
