THE RIVER

I’VE SEEN HANGINGTREES AND BABIES BORN – I’VE BAPTIZED MANY MEN
THE STORIES THERE UPON MY SHORES ARE CARRIED ON THE WIND
NOW SOMETIMES WIDE, AND SOMETIMES DEEP MY SOUL IS MANY THINGS
BUT NEVER TAME THIS HEART OF MINE AND I’LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED

I AM LIFE I AM RIVER AND I KNOW WHICH WAY I FLOW
I AM LIFE I‘M A RIVER AND AS YOUNG AS I AM OLD
I AM RIVER I’M A RIVER
THAT BECOMES A WATERFALL

‘WAS BORN UP ON A MOUNTAIN TOP AND TRAVEL TO THE SEA
‘DROWN THE FLAMES AND CONQUER STONES – IT’S ALL A PART OF ME
I’M GENTLE SOMETIMES RUGGED – CAN WHISPER OR BE LOUD
AND I’LL NOURISH YOU WITH ALL I HAVE AND GIVE YOU FERTILE GROUND

I AM LIFE I AM RIVER AND I KNOW WHICH WAY I FLOW…

WATER IS THE KEY OF LIFE AND HOW IT ALL BEGAN
A POWER THAT NEVER ENDS THAT MAKES ME WHO I AM

I AM LIFE I AM RIVER AND I KNOW WHICH WAY I FLOW
I AM LIFE I‘M A RIVER AND AS YOUNG AS I AM OLD
I AM RIVER I’M A RIVER
AND TO YOU I GIVE MY ALL
I AM RIVER I’M A RIVER
FOR THE GREAT AND FOR THE SMALL
I AM RIVER I AM RIVER
I AM RIVER I’M A RIVER
THAT BECOMES A WATERFALL
