The River We all go down to the river Into the waters we must climb There we get what we are given Then we get drunk from its wine We all must live in the river We all must swim in its banks We do what we can amongst the crocodiles And try to keep away from the snakes We all go down to the river Bathe in the mud and the mire We’re all born to live in the river The water that flows there is the flood of our desire Flow, that’s how it goes Winding through our lives, through the highs and the lows Flows, nobody knows Where its currents will take you, you must swim with its tow We all must dance in the river Move with the water as it glides We shake to its ebb and we groove to its flow The music it creates makes us feel more alive We all go down with the river We all move around with its tide Some like it deep and some like it shallow And everybody has their favorite sides When we reach the end of the river It’s the ocean, where we shall be Then we say goodbye to the river As we drift out into the deep Down from the mountains, born from the sky, raining down from way up high Flows through the valleys with little design into our lives So, Take me down to the river Let the current take me away The cold waters might make me shiver But the watery embrace will warm my decay We all go down to the river Into the waters we must climb There we get what we are given Then we get drunk from its wine We all go down to the river Into the waters we must climb There we get what we are given Then we get drunk from its wine Flow, that’s how it goes Winding through our lives, through the highs and the lows Flows, nobody knows Where its current will take you, you must swim with its tow
