As the river flows As the river flows So surely to the sea It’s power be a wondrous sight As it roams the land so free The path of no resistance Is how she lives each day I will learn from this old river I need to live this way. As the river flows She takes all in her stride Not dogged by expectations Not held back by her pride She flows into the ocean She knows this be her home She has no need to hurry She’s just content to roam. Oh, I’ll be like that river That’s how I’ll live my life All free from fear and worry Until my time is rife To join that mighty ocean All filled with sweet devotion. As the river flows And things get in her way She knows to never struggle Just flows from day to day And lets the power take her To where she needs to go Her softness melts all obstacles Albeit, oh so slow.
