River full of stones when there's no rain
[Sungai penuh batu saat tidak ada hujan]

River full and rushing when the clouds let loose again
[Sungai mengalir deras saat awan kembali mengguyur]

River every season like a prayer
[Sungai di setiap musim seperti sebuah doa]

We're standing in the shallows making crosses in the air
[Kita berdiri di dangkal, membuat tanda salib di udara]

Chorus:
Want to build the strongest bridge
[Ingin membangun jembatan terkuat]

Want to love you the best I can
[Ingin mencintaimu sebaik mungkin]

Feel no fear upon the edge
[Tidak merasa takut di tepi]

Here's my heart, baby take my hand
[Ini hatiku, sayang ambil tanganku]

River like a poem to the trees
[Sungai seperti puisi untuk pepohonan]

River telling stories to the rushes and the leaves
[Sungai bercerita kepada ilalang dan daun-daun]

River every season like a vow
[Sungai di setiap musim seperti sebuah janji]

We're standing in the shallows wondering who will save us
[Kita berdiri di dangkal, bertanya-tanya siapa yang akan menyelamatkan kita]

Want to build the strongest bridge
[Ingin membangun jembatan terkuat]

Want to love you the best I can
[Ingin mencintaimu sebaik mungkin]

Feel no fear upon the edge
[Tidak merasa takut di tepi]

Here's my heart, baby take my hand
[Ini hatiku, sayang ambil tanganku]

Instrumental Chorus

River from the currents to the pools
[Sungai dari arus ke kolam]

River turning kinder turning suddenly too cruel
[Sungai yang awalnya lembut tiba-tiba menjadi kejam]

River every season like a dream
[Sungai di setiap musim seperti sebuah mimpi]

We're standing in the shallows wading in to wash us clean
[Kita berdiri di dangkal, melangkah masuk untuk membersihkan diri]

Want to build the strongest bridge
[Ingin membangun jembatan terkuat]

Want to love you the best I can
[Ingin mencintaimu sebaik mungkin]

Feel no fear upon the edge
[Tidak merasa takut di tepi]

Here's my heart, baby take my hand
[Ini hatiku, sayang ambil tanganku]

Want to build the strongest bridge
[Ingin membangun jembatan terkuat]

Want to love you the best I can
[Ingin mencintaimu sebaik mungkin]

Feel no fear upon the edge
[Tidak merasa takut di tepi]

Here's my heart, baby take my hand
[Ini hatiku, sayang ambil tanganku]

Want to hold you close to me, never fail you, never falter
[Ingin memelukmu erat, takkan pernah mengecewakanmu, takkan pernah goyah]

Seeing all that love can see,
[Melihat semua yang bisa dilihat cinta,]

reflecting on the water...
[terpantul di atas air...]
