lyrics

For the first time in a hundred years the rain had ceased to fall
I have no idea at all if this is true or just something I’ve been told
But whether the weather was or wasn’t any wetter, I was certain right then it couldn’t get much better
I started walking my way down town with no fear of the cold

The sun shown out so bright that day I head towards the waterway
And the big old crowd was shouting right out loud
This is what the had to say

-CHORUS
Stop I know that the weather may be pretty
But you can swim in the river if you’re south of the city
And the bridge is almost out
You better check it out
If you ever want to get down town-

Well at two decades old with nothing to lose
I rolled up my sleeves and kicked off my shoes
Jumped in the river and swam for the opposite shore
And the current was strong the river was wide
But I’d never sleep knowing I never tried
I could not live my life in fear of what may be in store

As I reached the banks and began to dry
I laughed to myself with a peace of mind
As I caught glimpse of the warning sign with all those things I’ve heard before

-CHORUS-

All too often we are likely to assume
All the things we read and hear have to be true
In the end the only truth lies with you
Which side of the river will you be on
When the crowd comes after you
