There is a limit how much I can carry The misery I married kept me chained down so long Now I feel alive for the first time Where I have been, what I have seen contribute to the moment The river runs dry The river runs dry Refrain: And I want you to know you are all that matters And I hope you remember me Hold on to your dream while the night is growing dark Soar as the winds lift you higher Keep searching for hope mountain high or river deep And there I'll be tending the fire for you I captured the essence of existance Saw the fading lifeline and took hold of the flame Now I'll illuminate this moment Become the spark to light up the dark, open up your eyes to see that The river runs dry Our river runs dry [refrain] Like river runs into the ocean We're running right into our grave Let me know when it's all over And I shall never rise again I don't know what we were waiting for Remember what we were fiting for I don't care if it was us or them We knew they weren't heaven sent Still followed them to the bitter end And I want you to know you are all that matters Now I know what it feels to be alone Hold on to your dreams while the night is growing dark Soar as the winds lift you higher Keep searching for hope mountain high or river deep And there I'll be tending the fire
