A River Full Of Reasons Songtext
von Tim Vantol

I promised you mountains
While we were walking
Through the valley of the shadow of death.
The dam couldn′t hold it.
I would have told you,
But they would tell you the opposite.
Now I'm looking down at the valley,
Seeing the river running through.
I guess I kept my promise,
But the promise wouldn′t hold you.


Blinded by sunlight,
Straight in the face.
Twenty-four hours a day.
The silence confirmed it.
I should have turned it
Down, or at least the other way.
You said you felt guilty,
But why'd you feel guilty
As you tore us apart?
I just kept my word,
But I forgot about the heart.

Everything's got its reason.
Oh, it wasn′t meant to be.
Dragged into the river.
Disappeared into the sea.

Try something different .
You might never know.
I might have been too blind to see .
I burned all the bridges
To try something different,
But it wasn′t made for me.
I could not pretend,
So I packed up and went
And left it behind.
It was the first, the last, the only.
The only of its kind.


Everything's got its reason.
Oh, it wasn′t meant to be.
Dragged into the river.
Disappeared into the sea.
Dragged into the river.
Disappeared into the sea.

As I did ask you,
You said it's my task
And you′ll support where you can.
But tides, they have turned
And I had to learn
About your change of plan.
You said nothing changed,
And it will all be the same,
But it was just the beginning.
And it would never be seen again.

Everything's got its reason.
Oh, it wasn′t meant to be.
Dragged into the river.
Dragged into the river.
Dragged into the river.
Disappeared into the sea.
