There's no equation

To show what it took to get here

And there's nothin' left to say

Hear your hesitation

And believe me, I have been there

It's clearer every day

That it's nothin' but a river now

The burdens and the shiverin' doubts

Are washing away

So listen when I say

It's nothin' but a river now

From this side, I can tell you how

It's worth the wait

But things get better from here

I saw the mountain

And thought I had to carry it up

To take another step

And then a fountain

Pushed right through the barren earth

Where I expected it the least

So from here

It's nothin' but a river now

The burdens and the shiverin' doubts

Are washing away

So listen when I say

It's nothin' but a river now

From this side, I can tell you how

It's worth the wait

But things get better from here

And like a tiger lily in the green spring grass

It happens overnight when you least expect it

'Cause like a tiger lily in the green spring grass (It's worth the wait)

It happens overnight when you least expect it (Things get better from here)

But it's nothin' but a river now

The burdens and the shiverin' doubts

Are washing away (Mm-mm)

So listen when I say (Mm-mm)

That it's nothin' but a river now (Mm-mm)

From this side, I can tell you how (Mm-mm)

It's worth the wait (Mm-mm)

But things get better from here
