East Riverbend Songtext
von Paulsen-Shepler

(One, two, three, four)

Getting by in a concrete sty
I traded angels for the subway lines
Had my shot at paradise
But missed the world, aiming for the stars

Silver screen used to fuel my mirage
Escalating expectations, ′til I couldn't climb
I took my loss, left that cross
Seasons turn and so will I

And all I see is clear
I bid good riddance to my fears

′Cause I know what it means to heal that dis-ease
To trust yourself and the change it can bring

Rising sun, my guiding light
With one less missing piece inside
I found my heart in an east riverbend
Don't have to pretend I am alive
I am alive


And all I see is clear
I bid good riddance to my
Fears

'Cause I know what it means to heal that dis-ease
To trust yourself and the change it can bring
Now I know what it means
To feel that true peace
Letting go
Of pain
We all need

Water flows, a long-lost friend
Filled my soul don′t have to pretend
I found my heart in an east riverbend
Don′t have to pretend I am alive (Alive)

'Cause I know what it means to heal that dis-ease
To trust yourself and the change it can bring
Now I know what it means
To feel that true peace
Letting go
Of pain
We all need
Release
