Down the Waterfall
from Still I Rise by No Mountains
lyrics
Dove down the waterfall
Oh it was colourful
My mind was shaken by the embrace of its arms
For days, I stayed away
To disarm your dismay
When all you wanted was to guide this gutless heart
Fill my lungs with memories you hold
I want to know the substance of your soul
So show my eyes the glory and the flaws
I will rise to the challenge
Swam deeper and deeper
Through heavier water
I felt unsure as how to deal with what I’d find
Finally reached the deck
Of this unstable wreck
A voice called me as I strove to walk inside
Fill my lungs with memories you hold
I want to know the substance of your soul
So show my eyes the glory and the flaws
I had drowned my desire in devious water
The fall washed me clean, smothered up my sins
Fill my lungs with memories you hold
I want to know the substance of your soul
So show my eyes the glory and the flaws
I will rise to the challenge
Oh it was colourful
My mind was shaken by the embrace of its arms
For days, I stayed away
To disarm your dismay
When all you wanted was to guide this gutless heart
Fill my lungs with memories you hold
I want to know the substance of your soul
So show my eyes the glory and the flaws
I will rise to the challenge
Swam deeper and deeper
Through heavier water
I felt unsure as how to deal with what I’d find
Finally reached the deck
Of this unstable wreck
A voice called me as I strove to walk inside
Fill my lungs with memories you hold
I want to know the substance of your soul
So show my eyes the glory and the flaws
I had drowned my desire in devious water
The fall washed me clean, smothered up my sins
Fill my lungs with memories you hold
I want to know the substance of your soul
So show my eyes the glory and the flaws
I will rise to the challenge
