We were fire like the sun
Life had only just begun
They said the life could last forever
We were wild and we were young
Life had only just begun
We were born to run
Now I know those days are gone
Just like the mist upon the water
Just too blind to see
How could I not believe?
It was too far to run away
Mountain too high to climb
But when the river got too deep
You came and rescued me
Oh now I see
You came and rescued me
Tried to catch the fire
Before the flame had gone
We saw the sun go down together
We were wild and we were young
Life had only just begun
It was too far to run away
Mountain too high to climb
But when the river got too deep
You came and rescued me
Oh now I see
You came and rescued me
And as I watched the sun goes down
The darkness fell on sacred ground
For me and you We believed
We carried on
It was too far to run away
Mountain too high to climb
But when the river got too deep
You came and rescued me
Oh now I see
You came and rescued me, babe
You rescued me, babe
River deep
You came and rescued me
Oh now I see
You came and rescued me, baby
You came and rescued me, babe
