River Flows |
LyricsLet the river flow through meOver 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 |
| Short Song Description: A song about "life's rivers". |
| Long Song Description: A song that metaphorically compares a river with our lives. It refers to the "river flows" biblically-John 7:38 |
| Story Behind the Song: I originally came up with the song while stuck in the mud in a canoe in a marsh on Cape Cod, MA (the tide had just gone out). The song evolved from there. The sheet music is available in the songbook "Sing For God in Unity". |
