Josh Groban - River Lyrics






Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely
And some days I am too proud to ask for help
And I stumble through the noise trying to find some peace
A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself

So I walk down to the river
Where the troubles, they can't find me
Let the waters there remind me
The sun will be there when we wake
I walk down to the river
Though I might not understand it
It's not always as we planned it
But we grow stronger when we break
So I walk down to the river
I walk down to the river

This raging world can get so overwhelming
Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense
In my head it's getting loud like I can't outrun this cloud
No matter where I go well there I am

So I walk down to the river
Where the troubles, they can't find me
Let the waters there remind me
The sun will be there when we wake
I walk down to the river
Though I might not understand it
It's not always as we planned it
But we grow stronger when we break
So I walk down to the river
I walk down to the river

Let the calm pull me under
Far beyond the thunder
And tell me it will all be okay
Let the waves take all my worries
Conquer them with fury
Give me shelter, be my escape

I walk down to the river
Where the troubles, they can't find me
Let the waters there remind me
The sun will be there when we wake
I walk down to the river
Though I might not understand it
It's not always as we planned it
But we grow stronger when we break
So I walk down to the river
I walk down to the river
I walk down to the river
I walk down to the river, to the river
To the river
I walk down, oh oh oh oh
To the river, oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

    This song resonates so deeply with me. Dealing with grief over the death of my husband. Not understanding why things happened as they did. But having to trust it will eventually be okay.
    Thank you, Josh, for singing this song for us who need it so badly.

    For you Mary Dedobbeleer Crill 💜💔

  24. J.... G....

    Knowing that this song is about his own struggles with depression puts another dimension into it : I mean, honestly, he is singing with his heart and, of course, it is always most impressive for someone to sing about their own feelings and I am very moved by Josh's voice. I will meet you somehow, and I swear to God that I will tell you how important you are for me, and for us all ! xxx from France :D

  25. L.... C....

    Beautifully soul touching, Josh. Thank you.

    Probably my favorite song by Josh Groban. My mother suffered with mental illness at time when it was "not discussed". So glad to see such a fine singer sharing his personal story with us.
    Sincere thanks, Josh. Wishing you every happiness and health.

  30. D.... S....

    I lost my sister suddenly in December last year and this song reminds me how I felt at that time. What a lovely song.

  31. A.... E....

    Gracias 🙏 josh Groban!❤️

  32. R.... G....

    Love this...

  33. A.... A....

    Man, your voice brings to me a lot of old memories, when i was a teenager your voice Raised me Up.

  34. C.... A....

    My favourite singer! Simply perfect...

  35. C.... V....

    Be careful. People have unpredictable reactions to talks or songs about mental health. I've been treated for mental health issues since I was 14. I'm now 51. I have learned that sometimes the most brutal reactions to talk about depression come from the people at the edges. They are not visibly crazy enough to get free help. They keep telling themselves that the pain they feel is something they can handle. They are handling it. They are like the birds on the top of the lake. They may look good and yet have to work very hard to keep looking relatively healthy. When I heard that you had done a song and were talking about depression, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to listen to it or not (I always love your voice, but I don't listen to music much.) Too often, people in the public eye start talking about things that they don't really understand. Just be careful. I notice that sometimes interviewers push celebrities into saying unwise things. Just be careful. You can think that you understand mental health problems, but studying mental health is a good way to get to knowing just enough to be dangerous. The best therapists work to understand me as a person, not simply a diagnostic handle. They have helped me learn that myself. I don't know the answers for everybody. The best thing is to try and respect people. Love is a good word, but it means too many things. Often what I really want is respect.

  36. L.... F....

    He has such a wonderful God given voice! I hope this song helps anyone who is suffering from depression or loneliness (you are loved)!

  37. I.... T....

    Just Believe

    "It's not always as we planned it, but we grow stronger when we break." Beautiful line! It reminds me of Hanson's "Strong Enough To Break". Not sonically, they definitely sound nothing alike lol, but similar sentiment 💙

    @Mamette Rayé I've been attacked so many times by people who've been HANDED opportunities like this & given my lineage which is to the holocaust museum who keeps better records than the IRS. My youngest son born less than 5 pounds 9/28/15, $1500 for his demise and I served my country this is how I get treated. Nothing but my children were handed to me and we've been targeted since before our first breath. I'm being starved while my children are being trafficked and I'm being denied my funds by TRAFFICKERS. I've complained to police and they send their drug buddies to attack.
    Btw, MY CHILDREN ARE MISSING!

  68. A.... F....

    To touch a person heart & soul is to walk on sacred ground. This is how I feel when I hear Josh sing. I am forever changed...like an angel reaching forth to heal me.

  69. T.... C....

    I completed watching your show 'The Good Cop' yesterday and I was a total fan of TJ. I spent this afternoon watching a couple of your interviews and I bet I'm not just 'a TJ fan' now. I also found out you are a singer actually. This is the 1st one I heard ❤ and I wish I meet someone like you on this side of silver screen. This is my 1st confession, so idk how to end it, but hope this is good. ❤❤

  70. Q.... B....

    This is a powerful song from a powerful amazing soul. You can feel he sings from his heart. I love u Josh stay blessed bro.

    [Verse 1]
    Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely
    Some days I am too proud to ask for help
    And I stumble through the noise
    Trying to find some peace
    A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself

    [Chorus]
    So, I walk down to the river
    Where the troubles, they can't find me
    Let the waters there remind me
    The sun will be there when we wake

    I walk down to the river
    Though I might not understand it
    It's not always as we planned it
    But we grow stronger when we break
    So, I walk down to the river
    I walk down to the river

    [Verse 2]
    This raging world can get so overwhelming
    Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense
    In my head its getting loud
    Like i can't outrun this cloud
    No matter where i go well there i am


    [Chorus]
    So, I walk down to the river
    Where the troubles, they can't find me
    Let the waters there remind me
    The sun will be there when we wake

    I walk down to the river
    Though I might not understand it
    It's not always as we planned it
    But we grow stronger when we break
    So, I walk down to the river
    I walk down to the river

    [Bridge]
    Let the calm pull me under
    Far beyond the thunder
    Tell me it will all be ok
    Let the waves take all my worries
    Conquer them with fury
    Give me shelter be my escape

    [Chorus]

    I walk down to the river
    Though I might not understand it
    It's not always as we planned it
    But we grow stronger when we break
    So, I walk down to the river
    I walk down to the river
    I walk down to the river
    I walk down to the river
    I walk down to the river
    To the river
    To the river
    I walk down oh, oh, oh
    To the river oh, oh, oh
