Lead Me From the Forest Songtext

Lead Me From the Forest Songtext
Her mother once said that if you are lost
Follow the water
It will bring you home
So, through shadow and water, she crawled
But she did not want to crawl like an animal anymore
She wanted to stand on her own two feet
She wanted to be human
Water find your path
Cut through mother earth
Old trees have old roots
Through the roots you flow
Water find your own way
Though rock obscures the path
Water find your future
While Earth is all that′s passed
We were born of different streams
From streams, rivers are made
Resolute, strong and true
The Earth, rivers will change
Lead me from the forest
Where there is only night
And I will follow you to the light
She gathered her strength, stumbled on one foot, then the next
Threw her shoulders back, straightened her spine
Water bring us life
When fire burns us down
Ebb and way calm the flames
I hope we can be found
Water ever-changing
Don't know where to turn
While Earth is ancient knowledge
Water learns
We were born of different streams.
From streams, rivers are made
Resolute, strong and true
The Earth, rivers will change
Lead me from the forest
Where there is only night
And I will follow you to the light
Oh, see I have known rivers.
Oh. But never been immersed
Water, please, please cleanse me
Of all my hurt, of all my worst
Lead me from the forest
Where there is only night
And I will follow you to the light
Oh, lead me on
Oh, lead me on
I will follow you
To the light
Follow the water
It will bring you home
So, through shadow and water, she crawled
But she did not want to crawl like an animal anymore
She wanted to stand on her own two feet
She wanted to be human
Water find your path
Cut through mother earth
Old trees have old roots
Through the roots you flow
Water find your own way
Though rock obscures the path
Water find your future
While Earth is all that′s passed
We were born of different streams
From streams, rivers are made
Resolute, strong and true
The Earth, rivers will change
Lead me from the forest
Where there is only night
And I will follow you to the light
She gathered her strength, stumbled on one foot, then the next
Threw her shoulders back, straightened her spine
Water bring us life
When fire burns us down
Ebb and way calm the flames
I hope we can be found
Water ever-changing
Don't know where to turn
While Earth is ancient knowledge
Water learns
We were born of different streams.
From streams, rivers are made
Resolute, strong and true
The Earth, rivers will change
Lead me from the forest
Where there is only night
And I will follow you to the light
Oh, see I have known rivers.
Oh. But never been immersed
Water, please, please cleanse me
Of all my hurt, of all my worst
Lead me from the forest
Where there is only night
And I will follow you to the light
Oh, lead me on
Oh, lead me on
I will follow you
To the light
