The River (Alicia's Version)

The River (Alicia's Version) - Alicia Keys/Amanda Reid

Lyrics by：Alicia Keys/Johnny McDaid

I'm alone in a corner of a one -room apartment

Dirty windows let the light in through my fingers

And make patterns on the carpet

Heavy footsteps on the ceiling

And the sirens in the distance

Drowning sound of plain children

I'm alone here in a crowd of seven million

I know there's more to life than this

Cause something's calling me

So I follow the river

So I follow the river

And I'm gonna catch the wind

Cause I'm dying to begin

So I follow the river

Follow the river

Follow the river

There's a heartbeat out in these streets

Yeah there's a bonfire that's set alight inside me

There's no money that can stop me

Watch how strong I wanna be

When they said I could be

I know there's more to life than this

Cause something's calling me

So I follow the river

So follow the river

And I'm gonna catch a wind

Cause I'm dying to begin

Follow the river

Follow the river

Follow the river

Follow the river

Follow the river

I know there's more to life than this

Cause something's calling me
