[00:00.96]There is a river that washes you clean
[00:06.18]There is a tree that marks the places you've been
[00:11.17]Blood that was spilled, although not your own,
[00:17.58]For all of your tears, are the wages for things you have done
[00:30.60]And all of those nights
[00:33.17]Spent alone in the darkness of your mind
[00:38.38]Give it up, Let go
[00:44.44]These are things you were never meant to shoulder
[00:51.45]There is a river that washes you clean
[00:56.17]There is a tree that marks the places you've been
[01:02.16]Blood that was spilled, although not your own
[01:08.45]For all of those tears, love will atone
[01:18.30]So, give up the right
[01:20.17]To control the waves that empty out your life
[01:26.54]Above wild skies
[01:32.57]Are the rays that break the shadows we design
[01:40.14]Give it up, let go
[01:44.36]These are things you were never meant to shoulder
[01:50.89]Give it up, let go
[01:57.33]There is a river that washes you clean
[02:02.21]There is a tree that marks the places you've been
[02:08.47]Blood that was spilled, although not your own
[02:14.70]For all of those things, love will atone
[02:22.66]I know the world can turn in different ways
[02:28.37]Most of the time, we're simply hanging on
[02:32.40]And under the signs of how we all behave
[02:38.70]We might find the place that we belong

[03:15.01]There is a tree that marks the places you've been
[03:20.99]Blood that was spilled, although not your own
[03:26.15]For all of these things, love will atone
