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.
You are my river
Keep on flowing through
Filling my life
With all of you
You are the freedom
I've been searching for
Oh, how I love you
Just for who you are
There will be hard times
Everyone must go through
Testing his love
Just to see if it's true
But the hard times will come
But they all pass away
I have seen the light
In my life today
That's why I love you
Just for who you are
You are my river
