lyrics

If the snow-soft footprints lead us far from here
And the winter's brush strokes freeze our breath
Will we hunt the warm glow of another hearth?
Will we miss the home that we have left?

Have your satchel ready, have your gaze set far
The horizon's singing to our feet
If we dare to chase the sun and find the spring
The our hearts be full with every beat

Hold on to the river's song
Place your pockets 'round your hand
Place in me all you hope to be
And we'll rise, and we'll rise, and we'll rise

When my childhood daydreams used to guide my way
When my skin was still softer than bone
I would climb the branches of ambitious trees
I would claim the night sky as my own

Now my skin is thickened and my hands are grown
And my legs know burden in their pace
Yet my heart's still sapling in its need for flight
I still long to find another place

Hold on to the river's song
Place your pockets 'round your hand
Place in me all you hope to be
And we'll rise, and we'll rise, and we'll rise

So we'll find our hollow in an old oak tree
And we'll carve the heart-wood with our names

Should others follow they can find them here
They will know which way our journey came

Hold on to the river's song
Place your pockets round your hand
I'll place in you all I hope to do
And we'll rise, and we'll rise, and we'll rise

We will rise, we will rise, we will rise.
