The wi ndows turned to fishbowls
T he city to seas
T he cars were drowning undern eath your feet
T he children were swimming f rom the top of the trees
C rowds of umbrellas were staring in m is-belief
W ell Mary kept sewing
H olding on to her TV
E ven if the water was rising p ast her knees
N ow here comes the river
C oming on strong
A nd you can't keep your head above these troubled w aters
H ere comes the river
O ver the flames
S ometimes you got to burn to keep the s torm away
S ometimes
S ometimes you got to just
N obody told you i t was going to be this hard
S omething's been building behi nd your eyes
Y ou lost what you hold onto
Y ou're losing control
T here ain't any words in this world that's gonna c ure this pai n
S ometimes i t's going to fall down on your s houlders
But you're going to s tand through it all
H ere comes the river c oming on strong
A nd you can't keep your head above these troubled w aters
H ere comes the river o ver the flames
S ometimes you got to burn to keep the s torm away
S ometimes
S ometimes you're cast adrift
