Lyrics

Sometimes we’re on a path, other times we run astray, sometimes we use our paddle, or let the vessel lead the way, sometimes we hit a stone, with luck we flip right over, ‘cause boats were meant to float, just turn it right back over

Sometimes we take a path unseen to find, recharge, or hide, sometimes we throw an anchor to go against the tide, it’s hard to throw an anchor, that’s not the way it goes, you wanna be a rock, you say? We were made to rock and roll

Keep flowing down the river, no matter what the waves, put your will to the water and get on through...get on through the day

Some have come prepared with lots of food and tools, others come with nothin’, and nothin’ left to lose, some are strong with friends, supported, bound like glue, some of us are lonesome, desperate, worn and blue

The river holds the unknown, sometimes it’s from the sky, unexpected everywhere, from even deep inside, it’ll twist and change and rearrange, based on what we face, we could fall off the brace, or choose to keep the faith

You’ll get cold, tired, toiled, weakened, lost, and scared, but you’re meant to press on through, only fate knows how and where, so choose to see the beauty and adventure it provides, don’t you want to see how long it goes? And the element of surprise?

Just let your troubles wash away behind your rowing oar
And let the river lead the way, the pain will be no more
