River Flows

Lyrics

Let the river flow through me Over the rocks and down the falls And if it stops moving It might be the cold So don't stop moving For you must reach your goal today Sometimes were drowning in the river Sometimes troubles never cease But don't stop reaching For the river is clear today Why are we drawn to the river? As clear as it can be Why are we drawn to the river So we can, flow into the sea So we can, flow into the sea Sometimes were drowning in the river Sometime troubles never cease But don't stop reaching For the river is clear today Why are we drawn to the river? As clear as it can be Why are we drawn to the river? So we can, flow into the sea So we can, flow into the sea Flow into the sea
