To The River - John Mellencamp

They are master and slave

We are sunlight and shadow

All roads to the river

I am lost, I am saved

I’m beloved and betrayed

All roads to the river

And the river runs wide

And the river runs deep

And I spit in the eye of safe company

When I dive right down to the undertow

Well, the deeper I drown

Lord, the higher I’ll go

I am whispering dreams

I am howling revolutions

All roads to the river

I am valentine sweet

And I live in this nightmare

All roads to the river

And the river runs wide

And the river runs deep (Runs Deep)

And I spit in the eye of safe company

When I dive right down (Right down)

To the undertow (Undertow)

Well, the deeper I drown

Lord, the higher I’ll go

This is nothing like we planned

That’s the way it’s always been

All roads to the river

I have hated and I have loved

I have prayed and I have sinned

All roads to the river

And the river runs wide

And the river runs deep (And the river runs Deep)

And I spit in the eye of safe company

When I dive right down (Right down)

To the undertow (Undertow)

Well, the deeper I drown

Lord, the higher I will go
