I am a river in the ocean   Particles spread far and thin   But I can still remember what I was then   Now I am something greater, though less of what I was   The day that I discovered I was a river in the ocean      I am a bird whistling in the dark   Stuck in this cavernous mine   When silence falls, you know it's time to start running   I am a bird that's never seen much light   Stuck in this cavernous ark   Soon they'll send me out to look for land   And I'll bring back a little bark      I am a stroller in the park   Wrapped 'round this beautiful babe   I and the dark skinned womanpushing me are its slaves   I am a stroller in the park   Walking my flypaper skin through the balmy august air   Which sucks my body's waters from within      I am a river in the ocean   Particles spread far and thin   But I can still remember what I was then   Now I am something greater, though less of what I was   The day that I discovered I was a river in the ocean   Just a river in the ocean   Just a river in the ocean      But I'm waiting for the rainstorm   To take me back upstream   And I'm waiting for the brainstorn   To fill me back to the brim   So bring on the lightning   This midnight orange sky grows frightening   Break the water for me      Cause I'm waiting for the rainstorm   To take me back upstream   And I'm waiting for the brainstorn   To fill me back to the brim   So bring on the lightning   This midnight orange sky grows frightening   Break the water for me      Row, row, row your boat   Gently down the stream   Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily   Life is but a dream      Row, row, row your boat   Gently down the stream   Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily   Life is but a dream   Life is but a dream   Life is but a dream      And what's the difference between nothing and everything   And what's the difference between no one and everyone   And what's the difference between nowhere and everywhere   Everything, everyone and everywhere   Everything, everyone and everywhere   But what's the difference      But I'm waiting for the rainstorm   To take me back upstream   And I'm waiting for the brainstorn   To fill me back to the brim   So bring on the lightning   Bring on the enlightning   Break the water for me
