lyrics

Love is a River,
Raging fierce and free.
But I can't swim, I never learned,
Nobody taught me.

So if I get caught in the current,
I guess I'll drown.
Come on sweet River now,
And take me down.

'Cause I'm so far
From where I've been
I don't think if I run this race,
That I will win.

So, sing me a song,
A song I can live by.
This lonely feeling's about to melt my eyes!

Well, this breath must come to an end
But this flood never will

Heaven has a place for burning
And hell must have a place for light
And love is Water with a place for ebbs and flows

Seeds are made for planting
If the soil is just right
Roots and swirls make use of the undertows

Well, love can follow,
And love can flow.
The pain never subsides,
And yet, I don't wanna go.

Well, I only fish in the River now
'Cause I've learned a thing or two.
You say you'll never die,
But I will be there when you do.

Oh this breath must come to an end
But this flood never will
