Lyric Analysis

Out on the river
I’ve been watching the world go by – Reflective stance, relaxing, waiting for something
With time to consider
All the faces I’ve left behind – Sentimental, has he lost someone, is he moving on?
Out on the river
I’ve been swimming towards the light – Looking for hope
Alone on the river
But there’s stars in the sky tonight – Look up, find hope

Chorus 1
I’m praying these weary arms of mine
Will keep me above the water line – Being positive for the future
The ebb and flow of river and stream – The ups and down of life are tough, be strong
Waits not for those who merely dream – Stay positive, keep 'swimming'

*This Verse is about girls*
Out on the riverI’ve been watching the fish swim by – Keep your options open
They say that there’s more out in the sea - There’s someone for everyone
But there’s nothing that’s caught my eye – Keep looking for her
Out on the river
I’ve been singing a song all night
I’m trying to deliver
All the melodies in my mind – Wants to share feelings with someone

Chorus 2
I’m praying these weary arms of mine
Will keep me above the water line - Being positive for the future
The ebb and flow of river and stream - The ups and downs of life are tough, be strong
Waits not for those who merely dream - Stay positive, keep 'swimming'
I’m praying the hope within my heart
Will light the way should it get dark - Believing in something will get you past the bad times
The ebb and flow of river and stream
Waits not for those who merely dream
