A branch in the river lyrics - Thrice song

I was holding on to a branch in the river, so scared of letting go
And praying only that someone would stop the flow
I heard a voice like the sound of an ocean - above the river's rush
A song as old as the world, and my heart was hushed
And I could hear it calling to me

"Let go now, it'll be ok
Let go, and let yourself be carried away
Let go of all your uncertainty
Let go, and let yourself be carried to me"

Still I clung to that branch in the river, white-knuckled, terrified
All of my life I'd been warned that the waters lied
Something changed as the flood rose around me and washed away my fear
An echo rose from within - it was crystal clear
And I could hear it calling to me

"Let go now, it'll be ok
Let go, and let yourself be carried away
Let go of all your uncertainty
Let go, and let yourself be carried to me"
So let it go

You're holding on to that branch in the river, so scared of letting go
You're praying only that someone would stop the flow
But hear the voice, it's a chorus in motion - conflate the I and we
Weaving along with the song of the endless sea
The song that's always calling to you

"Let go now, it'll be ok
Let go, and let yourself be carried away
Let go of all your uncertainty
Let go, and let yourself be carried to me"
