Ah, I was ready to meet this journey's end 
        C/G              D/A    A 
Until I met you, my dear friend. 
            G       A                Em    A 
My will was broken, my hand had been dealt 
          C/G                D/A   A 
Until you changed it - how I felt. 
     C                   G           A 
As a stream leads to the sea, I will flow 
          C                 F          D     A 
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow. 
 
Ah, you have given me life back again, 
I feel immortal, king of men. 
Give me immersion, love wash over me, 
There ain't no better place to be. 
As a stream leads to the sea, I will flow 
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow. 
 
C 
No use to try, stop wondering why 
      G 
cause just like the mighty river I will flow.

I found renewal, I have found someone 
Now we're together, as if one. 
As a stream leads to the sea, I will flow 
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow.
