River Eleven

River Eleven

Calm waters never came

I stepped in, looked the other way

Might say I was never thinking

I think that maybe, my heart was left behind

Father forgive me

I didn’t mean it

Blinded myself from looking ahead

Kept repeating,

Have I learned this time?

I've made up my mind

No feeling, allow me to feel it

Can it be such a crime?

I did see it, all the signs

To reel myself into me at night

And I know, me more than anyone

I just have to have what I want

It came at all costs

River eleven I'm crossing this time

I won't ever glance back

A journey that I know won't be easy

The greatest things never are

Father forgive me

I didn’t mean it

Blinded myself from looking ahead

Kept repeating,

I have learned this time

I've made up my mind
