Down to The Water

I caught this song on Cherry Creek in Mancos, CO in 2020, on a day I wanted to let go of what was heavy to feel the lightness and joy that is so necessary for our inner freedom. The river, the waters, could hold it all.

This song has traveled far now and some folks sing it a bit differently, but this is the original version.

lyrics:

I go down to the water
and I lay down my troubles
and I watch
them flow to the sea

For they are too heavy
for me to carry
to hold
and still be free
