Lyrics

(from Genso Suikoden Vocal Collection ~Distant Star: Echoes Of Love~)

Currents
*	Goin' with the silver flow
	Of river wide with current deep and slow
	I rest my wings made to soar
	But can I fly anymore?
	The river it goes ever on
	Can heart keep pace rushing swollen 'til dawn
	Now I shake off weariness
	To go and meet what I can't guess
*	repeat
**	The heart has its secret currents
	Deep and without guide
	To find out where they will lead
	I take the plunge eyes wide
***	I'd like to know where you're from
	And where you are going to, Water Traveler.
	Now I stretch out my wings again
	And take back what I lost then
***	repeat
**	repeat
*	repeat
**	repeat x2
**	repeat x2
