The River

What do we do in these crazy times?
Inside, outside, I can feel it in my mind
In the ocean and the river
I can feel it in the tide
And all day, all night, in the rithim of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it flowing in me
Down by the river
Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold and hold the river
Inside my head I can hear it talking to me
Like the river to the ocean
I can feel it growing in me
And all day, all night, in the rithim of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it flowing through me
Down by the river
Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold and hold the river
Inside, outside, I can feel it in my mind
In the ocean and the river
I can feel it in the tide
And all day, all night in the rithim of the city
From the dusk to the dawn I can feel it growing in me
Down by the river
Life flowing deeper
Tide growing stronger
No, you can't hold and hold the river
River, river flowing with the tide
River, river flowing with the tide
River, river flowing with the tide...
