It's late in California
The voices are speaking low
And the winds line up
Point the direction they wanna go
The cold is hanging on now
The heat will be here soon
And those same old thoughts
Coming back around like a black moon

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the waters come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the sky
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today

The golden light surrounding
To save humanity
And the wind has it's own language
Spoken by the trees
Diamonds shine forever
Underneath the twilight sky
As the day grows near
I start to believe on this one more try

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the waters come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the sky
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today

I'm ready to fly
For an easy landing
It's out of my heart
It's out of my head (wish I could ruin the snow)
It's out of my hands (but it's out of my hands)

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the waters come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the sky
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today

Let the river rise
Let the clock run out
Let the river rise
(Let the river rise)
Let the clock run out
