Where the river meets the sea

[Verse 1] The river starts in mountain snow A restless current learned how to flow Carving canyons touching every stone Never quite content to be alone Carrying stories from the ancient trees And all the quiet truths it sees [Chorus] And it rolls on down to where the river meets the sea Where the fresh and salt begin to be Something older than a name In the whispering of the tide so claim Where the journey finds its reason to release At the place where the river meets the sea [Verse 2] The ocean of a different kind of time A patient rhythm ancient and sublime It doesn't rush to get anywhere at all Just answers to the moon's gentle call It holds the river like a long lost friend A reaching out a coming to an end [Chorus] And it rolls on down to where the river meets the sea Where the fresh and salt begin to be Something older than a name In the whispering of the tide so claim Where the journey finds its reason to release At the place where the river meets the sea [Bridge] Maybe we're all just rivers in the end Looking for the sea around the bend Trying so hard to make a mark When we're already part of something dark and deep and vast And meant to be exactly where we're cast [Outro] And it rolls on down to where the river meets the sea Where the fresh and salt begin to be Something older than a name In the whispering of the tide so claim Where the journey finds its reason to release At the place where the river meets the sea Where the river meets the sea Where the journey learns to be Or I'm meant to be Right here
