Select language to translate this lyric
I skipped along the rising water
was cradled in the river, and settled in the sun
I thought of how my life was changing
how troubles were fading, and the woman I loved
And the weather was the kind that I remembered
from my first day in Seattle, on the 4th of July
when I saw the bald eagle fly
I saw the sadness in the lion's eyes
as he watched his little brother die under a claw
I thought of making different choices
of answering all their questions and finally being free
And I felt like I fell into a painting,
one I saw in Amsterdam, on the day I first knew
that it had always been you
And now, in final desperation
I let go of the darkness and I move towards the light
Just think of what you'll leave behind now
and what there is to gain and how it's all decided
The people I met throughout my lifetime
They're walking in a line now and show me a smile
I'll be home in just a little while
