I opened my heart, and handed it to you
It ain't just your words, you've got a pessimistic view
I'd like to get along, even if we don't agree
So please pack up my heart, and give it back to me
chorus
I jumped into the river, the water's flowing free
Ain't got no plans for leaving, this is where I want to be
I gotta keep believing and
Let the water, let the water, wash over me
Think I'll take the good, and leave the rest behind
Learn from the wise, any source I can find
A stone on the beach, shines when it is wet
The more it's pounded by the waves, the smoother it does get
