there's a time for living in the wind
there's a time for running from your sorrow
and a time your flight from time must end
yesterday surrender to tomorrow
though your heart may fear the future
may have lost the will to love
you can never quite escape it
there's no place to run that's far enough

like a river, it will fall until it's free
like a river, from the mountain tops
always searching for the sea
love will find you
it's as sure as gravity

i have felt the pain of cold rejection
i have felt the shame of my own pride
and i can tell you've sworn to never go back
to that place your spirit nearly died
let me be the one exception
let me show you love that's true
let me hold you 'til the shadow passes
love is patient; let me wait for you

like a river, it will fall until it's free
like a river, from the mountain tops
it has searched for you and me
love is faithful; it's as sure as gravity
love is patient; it's as sure as gravity
love will find us, just as sure as gravity
