They say for everyone, there's that certain one Out there, somewhere I'd been looking hard, searching every heart Getting nowhere Didn't know I was making my way to you Now I know how the river feels When it reaches the sea And finally finds the place It was always meant to be Holding fast, home at last Knowing the journey's through Lying here with you I know how the river feels Miles of loneliness, now make perfect sense Here beside you Tears like water fall, it was worth it all Just to find you And yours are the last arms I'll run to Now I know how the river feels When it reaches the sea And finally finds the place It was always meant to be Holding fast, home at last Knowing the journey's through Lying here with you I know how the river feels Holding fast, home at last Knowing the journey's through Lying here with you I know how the river feels Oh, I know how the river feels
