about

Story of this song:
Before I made the definite decision in 2013 to really pull through the hardship involved with the bar exam in Germany, I wrote this song to forge strength and to remind myself that I can trust in myself and the process involved.
It started with a melody in my head before falling asleep and the next two weeks it felt a bit like someone was tugging my sleeve being like "write me! write me!" and I kept writing like possessed until I had the lyrics all complete.

lyrics

The current is not so strong now
innocent games we play
come and join us I’ll show you how
the water sings in may

go follow the river
arms open wide
go follow the river
you know I’m by your side

now the water is deeper
it’s getting hard to breathe
slowly you’re getting weaker
don’t fight it find your ease

go follow the river
arms open wide
go follow the river
you know I’m by your side

the dirt is surfacing fast now
it’s hard to see things clear
come to me and I’ll show you how
to float in harmony

go follow the river
arms open wide
go follow the river
you know I’m by your side

go follow the river
arms open wide
go follow the river
you know I’m by your side
