You can paint me a river
Make it wide and brown
I will ride its rapids
Hoping things will change
Yes it's easy on my eyes
But it's harder on my heart
I will cry myself to sleep
Hoping things will change
So lead me up and lead me down
There's a brand on my skin
I will run forever
Hoping things will change
There's a hole in my shoe
And a patch upon my coat
And a place by my pillow
Hoping things will change
Hoping things will change
Hoping things will change
Hoping things will change
