1. Release the captive flow
Let yourself go
It’s stronger than you know
Let yourself go
You hold your other self inside you
The jailer and the prisoner both
Oh let yourself go                                                  
Release the captive flow 

2. Don’t hold your breath forever                                                                
Let yourself go                                                                                                                                                       
And float upon the river                                          
Let yourself go
Let yourself                                                                                                      
And move upon the mind’s reflections
The colours of kaleidoscope 
Oh let yourself go                                                                                                                
Release the captive flow

3. So wide and deep the river                        
Let yourself go                                        
Let yourself go                                                              
That holds your soul forever                                                
Let yourself go                                         
Let yourself go
The past and future flow together                                                                   
The current’s moving strong and slow                                             
Oh let yourself go                                     
Release the captive flow 

DESCANT
Release release the captive flow
And let it bear you where it goes
The sky above the earth below

And pass along the childhood years
Where Alice swam inside her tears
In land of wonder and of fears
The music, words unsung unsaid
The memories inside your head
Like pebbles on a river-bed

The wind has stirred the willow-leaves
And Pan plays on the river reeds
And still the river gently weaves
Towards the spirit of the sea
And Oro’pa’a by name is he
And still he roars eternally

Past and future flow together
Current’s strong and slow
Release release the captive flow
And let it bear you where it goes
The sky above the earth below
