I watch you dancing inside your wide-eyed world.
Your heart is a flag unfurled,
You say everything is alright, it's ok,
And then you're on your way.
Even if I know that you've turned aside
You would still hear me say,
I know you think there's nothing
That you haven't tried,
But trying will take you

To the river, to the river of life,
Your tears disappear in the flow.
To the river, to the river of life,
It's where you and I wanna go.
Down to the river,
With the roots of the healing tree
Draw from the river, the water of life
For the healing of you and me.

There's nothing you can do
That has not been done,
So let the river run.
We'll see everything as it was meant to be,
So come along with me

To the river, to the river of life,
Your tears disappear in the flow.
To the river, to the river of life,
It's where you and I wanna go.
Down to the river,
With the roots of the healing tree
Draw from the river, the water of life
For the healing of you and me.

To the river, to the river of life,
Your tears disappear in the flow.
To the river, to the river of life,
It's where you and I wanna go.
Down to the river.
Down to the river.
To the river, to the river of life......
