Pressure Cooker

Verse 1

Don’t push the river
It can flow by itself
Don’t force the feeling
Let it come, let it go
There’s a time and place
With a will of it’s own
Don’t push the river

Verse 2

All the thoughts in your head
Spinning round all the time
Like a pressure cooker
And they build in your mind
There’s a way you can be
You can learn to be free
Don’t push the river
No no no no no
No no no it let go
Don’t push the river

Chorus 1

Don’t push the river
No need to deliver
Don’t push the river
Don’t be such a giver
You can talk the river
Watch the river

Verse 3

Feel the joy in your heart
Find a place for your love
Don’t avoid any pain
In yourself or in others
Nothing tried, nothing gained
Don’t force the feeling
Don’t push the river
No no no no no
No no no let it go
Don’t push the river

Chorus 2

Don’t push the river
No need to deliver
Don’t push the river
Don’t be such a giver?

Last verse

There’s weight on your chest
And the tension it grows
Like a pressure cooker
Til it wants to explode
You’re a train full of coal
No brakes to control
Gotta head full of steam
Gotta learn how to breathe
Show what you feel
Release all your steam
But real easy
