I'm turned raw by the passerby and I've learned you can't walk until you fly
And I've flown so much that my feet are weak
My shoes never used, when I touch the ground they're bound to squeak, oh yeah...

-CHORUS-
You can't change the path of the river, once it's carved it's way down the hill
You can't stay the path in winter, once it's grown cold and still
You can't sail across the ocean with that sail not opened wide
Faith is perpetual motion, you make or break, you let luck ride

You tell me that you have seen it all
And you fell long before you ever learned to crawl
And you've cracked your knees open once again
It's a matter of fact, you've grown bandages instead of skin, oh yeah-

CHORUS-
You can't change the path of the river, once it's carved it's way down the hill
You can't stay the path in winter, once it's grown cold and still
You can't sail across the ocean with that sail not opened wide
Faith is perpetual motion, you make or break, you let luck ride

I'm turned raw by the passerby
And I've learned you can't walk until you fly
And I've flown so much that I think I'm done
Next time I touch down to the ground I swear to God I'll run, oh yeah...

CHORUS x 2
You can't change the path of the river, once it's carved it's way down the hill
You can't stay the path in winter, once it's grown cold and still
You can't sail across the ocean with that sail not opened wide
Faith is perpetual motion, you make or break, you let luck ride
