Janis Ian — All Roads to the River lyrics

Lyrics

breaking the silence
All roads to the river
I am master and slave
I am sunlight and shadow
I am all roads to the river
I am lost, I am saved
I am beloved and betrayed
all roads to the river
And the river runs wide
The river runs deep
And I spit in the eye
of safe company
When I dive right down
to the undertow
The deeper I drown
the higher I’ll go I am whispering dreams
I am howling revolutions
All roads to the river
I am valentine sweet
I am every mother’s nightmare
All roads to the river
I dream of still waters
silent and clear
but I run for the thunder
that’ll drown my fear
