Lonely River

Lonely river

You meander like a road

Stretching out into the great unknown

With solitary movement

You're compelled and you're enthralled

As though you're answering a distant call

Lonely river

Is there a place you're running to

Or is it something that you're running from

Is it hope that keeps you going

Is it faith that makes you strong

Lonely river, lonely river, running on

Lonely river

In the stillness of the night

Your restless nature keeps you raging on

Changing courses

Shallow waters, tangent streams

Lonely river, do you wonder what it means

Lonely river

I think I am a lot like you

Winding on in hopes to find the sea

And flooded by uncertainties

The current can be strong

But drifting towards our destinies

The arm of God is long

And I believe that through this journey

'Til we're finally home

Lonely river, we will never, run alone
