The River Turns

[Куплет 1] You taught the river how to turn By placing stones where currents learn A little bend, a different way Can change the shape of every day [Предприпев] I used to think the map was set A line no hand could rearrange But even hills remember this: The earth can move, the earth can change [Припев] So i will make a path through open ground Not waiting for a sign to lead me out With every step, the wide world starts to shift I am not lost, i am becoming this [Куплет 2] The migrating birds cross mountain air With no bright landmark waiting there They trust the pull beneath their wings And find new names for distant springs [Предприпев] If i can hold a question close Without demanding where it ends Perhaps the road is not a test But something i can shape and bend [Припев] So i will make a path through open ground Not waiting for a sign to lead me out With every step, the wide world starts to shift I am not lost, i am becoming this [Бридж] Let the compass lose its needle Let the horizon widen slow There are places i have never seen That only moving feet can know [Final chorus] I will make a path through open ground With just this voice and footsteps for the sound Then all the distant colors rise and lift I am not lost, i am becoming this I am becoming this [Аутро] The river turns, the birds move on The shape i seek is not yet drawn
