I've got a bucket in my hands but the river's run dry

I've got a bucket in my hands but the river's run dry

Oh I've walked the miles I've travelled this land

I've walked many miles to get where I am

I've walked many miles oh to get where I am

 

And if I was a river

would i ever run dry

or would i drink the rain and the mountain snow

fall in love with every sky, fall in love with every sky

 

Trying to listen to the trees but the wind won't blow

Trying to listen to the trees but the wind won't blow

Oh I've lain to rest beneath the oak and pine

beneath the branches like fingers intertwined

beneath the branches like fingers intertwined

 

And if I was a tall tree

would i ever blow wild

or would I dig my roots in this solid ground

and just settle for a while, settle for a while

 

If I wait long enough will the mountains move

If I wait long enough will the mountains move

I've got a lot to give oh and little to lose

and I've travelled this far just for something to prove

oh I've travelled this far just for something to prove

 

And if I was a mountain

would I tumble and fall

or would I hold the earth like it once held me

when I was nothing at all, when we were nothing at all

 

If i was a river

If i was a tall tree

If i was a mountain
