Ah, I was ready to meet this journey's end

Until I met you, my dear friend.

My will was broken, my hand had been dealt
C/G D/A A
Until you changed it - how I felt.
C G A
As a stream leads to the sea, I will flow
C F D A
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow.
Ah, you have given me life back again,
I feel immortal, king of men.
Give me immersion, love wash over me,
There ain't no better place to be.
As a stream leads to the sea, I will flow
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow.

No use to try, stop wondering why
G
cause just like the mighty river I will flow.

I found renewal, I have found someone
Now we're together, as if one.
As a stream leads to the sea, I will flow
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow.
