Even the Pain

Three long years now, since I've seen her face
Three long years now, since she left his angry place
Destiny called her but too soon for her age
Oh if I'd, I'd only listened, she might be here today

And we're all gonna ride this river
And we're all gonna feel the rain
And we all take what we're given
Even the pain

Cold, tired and hungry, now she's movin' with the wind
And all I do is worry about the pain she must be in
If only I could see you, tell me why you didn't write?
Now there's no one there to defend you and I can't sleep at night

And we're all gonna ride this river
And we're all gonna feel the rain
And we all take what we're given
Even the pain

And we see the light before us
Through the darkness and the shame
But it all breaks down, it all breaks down
Even the pain

So roll on mighty river
Take us down to the sea
Wash away the muddy waters
Set us free

And we're all gonna ride this river
And we're all gonna feel the rain
And we all take what we're given
Even the pain

And we see the light before us
Through the darkness and the shame
But it all breaks down, it all breaks down
Even the pain

And we're all gonna ride this river
And we're all gonna feel the rain
And we all take what we're given
Even the pain
