Melissa Etheridge

When my soul crashed into my body
Falling into consciousness
That's when my mind began this illusion
Of taking it step after step
I looked into mother's eyes
I said tell me what I should believe
She drew me a room with a light and said
just turn it off when you leave
Slow, slow, this river is slow
We're all out here on our own
Row, row, gently we row
One day we'll find our way home
Step after step
they drew me a town
they drew me a fear and a need
They drew me a god and
they drew me some money
hiding the truth far from me
I asked the cool fire light
tell me, what I should believe
And they gave me a song
and they gave me a dance
And said sleep now your pain will relieve
Slow, slow, this river is slow
And we're all out here on our own
Row, row, gently we row
And one day we'll find our way home
I've stumbled and crawled
