Someone built a dam in the river
It's been built for three years now
Why is it there? I don't know
I'm just an observer

Someone built a dam in the river
Some people like it, others don't
Some people say it's necessary, others say it's a nuisance
I just feel neutral about it

Someone built a dam in the river
The people are talking about tearing it down
There might be a celebration, they say, a party
I'm worried there's just gonna be chaos

Someone built a dam in the river
They made a decision, it's gonna be gone soon
But what is the dam other than a landmark?
I think I'm gonna miss it once it's gone

Someone built a dam in the river
Three years ago, and now it's gone
And as I stare where the dam once was, I see debris
Serenity beneath all the chaos

Someone built a dam in the river
And now the water has a sort of freedom
But I think the people hate it
And it's too late to build it back
