Don't let
|
Fear stop me now
|
I can't bear to find out
|
That I've lied to myself
|
And risked not asking for your help
|
|
Life is a river
|
And it flows to the sea
|
I wont sit on the banks
|
And let it roll on by me
|
I need to ride on
|
This glistening trail
|
I wont get weary
|
With your breath in my sails
|
|
You chose
|
To keep right on
|
I'm choosing to transform
|
Just like being born
|
We all cross the misting current
|
One by One
|
|
Life is a river
|
And it flows to the sea
|
I wont sit on the banks
|
And let it roll on by me
|
I need to ride on
|
This glistening trail
|
I wont get weary
|
With your wind on my sails
|
|
So come with me darling
|
(potatoes fields in summertime)
|
And leave death behind
|
(running on the beach to fairyland)
|
We may steal a moment
|
(flattening pennies on the rail)
|
But we wont get more time
|
(making you furious and running away,
|
running away, running away)
|
Life is a river
|
And it flows eternally
|
Don't worry baby
|
Let's go To the sea.
|
Hush my baby don't you cry
|
Mama's gonna sing you a lullabye
|
