This world is far from small
And her heart is the center of it all
And there's a river that runs through hills, and it's never still

Listen closely to the sky
And it'll show you how to dot life's I's
And don't be afraid if the girl decides to run
It's half of the fun

And she will be free
Like the leaves floating in the wind, and the stream
She will not be bound
by anything that tries to drag her down
Oh, and all that girl wants to be is loved
And her heart is a river in my blood

I met her under the summer sun
She taught me things, that I have yet to learn
Showed me beauty, of ion and grace
And so many things

When I look into her eyes, I grow still
How else can I process
all these things I feel
And when she smiles, Lord, she knows that she's won
And I come undone

And she will be free
Like the leaves floating in the wind, and the stream
She will not be bound
by anything that tries to drag her down
Oh, and all that girl wants to be is loved
And her heart is a river in my blood

She will be free
Like the leaves floating in the wind, and the stream
She will not be bound
by anything that tries to drag her down
And all that girl wants to be is loved
Yeah, all that girl wants to be is loved
All that girl wants to be is loved
And her heart is a river in my blood
