It's late in California The voices are speaking low And the winds line up Point the direction they wanna go The cold is hanging on now The heat will be here soon And those same old thoughts Coming back around like a black moon Let the river rise Open up the skies Not gonna wash away Let the waters come down Turn around Into a fortress Let the river rise Open up the sky Time won't slip away Let the clock run out Don't care about it Not today The golden light surrounding To save humanity And the wind has it's own language Spoken by the trees Diamonds shine forever Underneath the twilight sky As the day grows near I start to believe on this one more try Let the river rise Open up the skies Not gonna wash away Let the waters come down Turn around Into a fortress Let the river rise Open up the sky Time won't slip away Let the clock run out Don't care about it Not today I'm ready to fly For an easy landing It's out of my heart It's out of my head (wish I could ruin the snow) It's out of my hands (but it's out of my hands) Let the river rise Open up the skies Not gonna wash away Let the waters come down Turn around Into a fortress Let the river rise Open up the sky Time won't slip away Let the clock run out Don't care about it Not today Let the river rise Let the clock run out ♪ Let the river rise (Let the river rise) Let the clock run out
