GThere once was a wrong, tGsushought it was right
GThere once was a truth that tGsushought it could lie
Then Emthey saw
DTheC/Gy were nothiF/Gng new at all
GAfter Gsusthe storm, along came the landslide
GWould Gsusthey climb? Would they swim? Time to decide
If I Emhad to choose
CI AmknoDw what I’d do
GYou wanted me to be a mountain
I’Bmd rather be a river
AmWater CfloGw can wash a hill away
YoGu wanted me to fly
I Bmwant to get high
AmHow eClse am I Ggonna see what I want to see?
I am for now, you are forever
And behind the rust is buried treasure
Is it gold?
Is it something we can hold?
GAll will come and go (all will come and go)
GAll will come and go (like a river flow)
I always knew
What I had to do
You wanted me to be a mountain
I’d rather be a river
Water flow can wash a hill away
You wanted me to fly
I want to get high
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
I always knew
There was rust between the truth
I always knew
What I had to do
You wanted me to be a mountain
I’d rather be a river
Water flow can wash a hill away
You wanted me to fly
I want to get high
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
Na Na Na Na Na...
(You want me to be a mountain)
You want me to be a river
Water flow can wash that hill
Wash it away, wash it away
(You wanted me to fly)
Ooh, you wanted me to fly
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
