THE RIVER OF LIFE CHORUS: TA-KE ME DOW-N TO THE RIVER THE RIV-ER THE RIV-ER OF LIFE---. WON’T YOU BAP--TIZE M-E IN THE RIVER THE RIV-ER THE RIV--ER-- OF LI ---FE----- VERSE: LIFE BEGINS WITH TEARS OF JOY IS THE BABY A GIRL OR A BOY? IT’S AN UPSTREAM BATTLE NO MATTER WHO’S IN THE SADDLE. LIFE FLOWS LIKE A RIVER UP AND DOWN TIL THEY BURY YOU IN THE GROUND. CHORUS: VERSE: LIFE FLOWS LIKE A RIVER OF STRIFE. NO ONE PROMISED AN EASY LIFE. WATERS AND FORTUNES RISE AND FALL. WHAT IS REALLY BEHIND IT ALL? AS THE RIVER FLOWS TO THE SEA, WHAT DOES LIFE HAVE FOR YOU AND ME? CHORUS: VERSE: LIFE ENDS WITH TEARS OF PAIN IS DEATH THE FINAL TRAIN? FIGHT AGAINST THE CURRENT IS HARD NO ONE KNOWS WHO HAS THE FINAL CARD. LIKE A RIVER, TEARS WILL FLOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, WE DON’T KNOW. CHORUS:
