Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I knew you weren't doing very well today
And somehow I knew you'd be here
I'll sit on the rocks of the shore as you row
There's no place that I need to go
Row row row row
Row your boat
The way you swipe through waters run deep
I can tell you're still hurting
Find the rhythms of the river
Hear the secrets of the trees
Let the birds put your pain to melody
And row row row row
Row your boat
And I'll stay right here, to know you're ok
You won't even know I came
Go run the river wild, like you use to as a child
On this great adventure called life
Row row row row
Row your boat
