We can ride the river down
Follow this thought to its conclusion
Live our whole lives in seclusion
Never risk the road again
We can ride the river down
Let the sadness be an anchor
Let the anchor sink us further
From the possibility of mending
Or we can make a raft in rags
Soaked through with tears shed over all our brothers
And we won’t just float
We’ll dance
once more
Only fiercer now because
