I drink from the cold river's edge
It chills my bones, but not my pledge
I swore I'd live, I swore I'd stay
Through storms that tear my heart away
The current's strong, the nights are deep
But I've no tears left to weep
Still, I walk, still, I fight
Holding love through endless night
When I reach the far-off shore
I'll rest, I'll need no more
Hard life flowed through every vein
But I survived the pain
My away
My away
The water runs, I'm standing here
Tasting salt and dirt and fear
But my feet won't leave this ground
I'm the strongest thing I've found
When I reach the far-off shore
I'll rest, I'll need no more
Hard life flowed through every vein
But I survived the pain
My away
My away
My away
