The 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.
Close your eyes now and see the world
Close your mind and you will learn
'Cause all this chopped tree will surely burn
Now you know we're all on a path and I hope you learn
Nooo oh
Nah noo
Sit down by the river and you will find, now
'Cause you're no bigger, no
What you're inside
Na na noo
Sit down by the river and you will find, now
Cause you're no bigger than the birds that fly
Control your mind now cause it's starting to burn
Slowly aching with every turn
It's winding down
It slowly breaks
Said I'm chopping wood now now
And carrying my weight
Nah noo
Sit down by the river and you will find, now
Cause you're no bigger
What you're inside
Na na noo
Sit down by the river and you will find, now
Cause you're no bigger than the birds that fly
Yeah na na no
Yeah na noh
Yeah na
So don't forget what you know
It's a short lived life but live it so
Cause one mans dirt is one mans gold
But we can sit and watch the flowers as they unfold
Yeah yeah
Cause the sun does burn and the sea is cold
But we're all in the same rowing boat
And we trying to get along
Sit down by the river and you will find
You're no bigger, no
What you're inside
Na na noo
Sit down by the river
Yeah oh oh
And you will find, now
That you're no bigger
What you're inside
Na na noo
Sit down by the river
Oooh
And you will find, now
That you're no bigger than the birds that fly
Just take a walking inside
Just take a walking inside
