Cry Me A River


Cry me a river

Let me swim through the waves

I'll swim all night just to try to change the tide

Cry me a river

Keep the waterworks flowing

I don't care how long it takes

Cry me a river

We can get through this together

Just take my hand

Cry me a river

You may have hit a low point

But water always rises again

Cry me a river

Put your trust in me

And like the rising tide I will always come

Cry me a river

And you will come to see

That no matter the terrain, in the high and the low,

A river keeps on going.
