Lyrics
Big River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life is like a big river
Sinkin' or swim
Depends on you
You can take or
You can be a giver
If you got love
You're gonna get through
Once, a good woman loved me
Kinda cruel
And she left me one day
Now I'm cyin'
She loves another
Gotta go alone
The rest of the way
Take, the advice of a loser
Who's been livin'
Too long alone
Follow your heart
Follow your rainbow
And one day you'll find
You are not alone
