Janis Ian — All Roads to the River

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] The river runs wide The river runs deep I spit in the eye Of safe company Gonna dive right down To the undertow 'Cause the deeper I drown The higher I'll go [Bridge] I dream of still waters Silent and clear But I run for the thunder That'll drown my fear [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And the river runs wide The river runs deep And I spit in the eye Of safe company Gonna dive right down To the undertow 'Cause the deeper I drown The higher I'll go
