always fighting the storm

afraid to suffer the wound

all praise to that conscious one

who always suffers the wound child

suffers the wound child



hey!

suffers the wound!

never turns from love

give it up



always try to explain

afraid to lay naked in the sun

he's crazy she dances in the light

the crowd jeers they won't put up a fight



hey!

suffers the wound!

never turns from love

give it up

until my heart is free to roam

she won't never leave me alone

saved by the river now

saved



always fighting the storm

buildin' shelter to house our lack of love

we're only here for a while

tear it down and suffer the wound



hey!

suffers the wound!

never turns from love

give it up

until my heart is free to roam

she won't never leave alone

saved by the river now, saved

(never turns from love, never turns to

hate)



always suffers the wound, never turns

from love

never turns to hate

saved by the river now

always suffers the wound, never turns

from love

never turns to hate



an invisible mississippi, ganges or a nile

I can feel the quiet river rage

forcin' my lips into a smile

don't believe that the world is empty

just too noisy to hear the sound

I can feel the quiet river rage

and I'm fallin' down

saved by the river now

saved
