lyrics

You sat by the River,
Your hand in the water.
Praying for guidance in the silence,
Asking the flow to take over,
She says,

Yes, I hear you
Yes, I see you
Yes, I'm with you
My daughter

You told me about your childhood
Trusting me with your life.
I want to know
Where it hurts
Where it burns
Where you need to feel the Earth.
And She says,

Yes, I hear you
Yes, I see you
Yes, I'm with you
My daughter

The circles and cycles
Ever-flowing, Ever-changing (4x)

You came back to the River,
Your hand in the water,
Thanking silence for its guidance.
This reflection,
Gift of transformation.
In Her surrender,
She flows,
As the River (4x)
And She says,

Yes, I hear you
Yes, I see you
Yes, I'm with you
My daughter
