Lletres: Melissa Etheridge. Fearless Love. Gently We Row.

When my soul crashed into my body
Falling into consciousness
That's when my mind began this illusion
Of taking it step after step
I looked into Mother's eyes
I said tell me what I should believe
And she drew me a room with a light
And said just turn it off when you leave

[Chorus:]
Slow slow this river is slow
And we're all out here all on our own
Row row gently we row
And one day we'll find our way home

Step after step they drew me a town
They drew me a fear and a need
They drew me a God and they drew me some money
Hiding the truth far from me
I asked the cool firelight
Tell me what I should believe
They gave me a song and they gave me a dance
Saying sleep now your pain we'll relieve

[Chorus]

I have stumbled and crawled
I have begged to know why
I've been ashamed when I've chosen to lie
In all of this darkness I have searched for a light
To come and find me
And when I found me

I wrapped my arms 'round my own daughter
As she fell into her place and time
And as her mind creates her illusions
I won't complicate hers with mine
She looked into her mother's eyes
Said tell me what I should believe
And I drew her a door and I drew her a key
I said when you're ready you come and find me
And we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be
A new day
Slow slow this river is slow
You are never out here on your own
Row row gently we row
Together we'll find our way
Slow slow this river is slow
And life is not what it seems
Row row gently we row
The truth is it's only a dream
