Song Description

Life, no matter how tough, follows a course.........just like a river.

Lyrics

LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER


No one told me it would be so hard
To say goodbye to some things I'll discard -
Because when I was young and so fancy free
Nothing seemed to be too hard for me
There was hope all around and time to be
Yeah to be, whoever I chose to be

But time takes its toll and tolls are not free
Sadness in my heart now, its tough on me
But, got no place for debris it can't hold me back
Now play my cards, headin' for new tracks
The ace in the hole it's on the attack
I'll listen to life but I will answerback

Life is like a river goes fast at the bends
For those left behind here's a hand I can lend
Made a few enemies, got me some friends
Mountains to climb, I got hopes that ascend
Life is like a river flowing on to the end

It's not easy to say goodbye to what you know
Not knowing if you'll make it where you want to go
Or that tear in your eye will make you blind
There's a glimmer of light in my mind
I'll be fine when I've left it all behind
A brand new world of new things to find

Life's like a river goes fast at the bends
For those left behind here's a hand I can lend
Made a few enemies, got me some friends
Mountains to climb, I got hopes that ascend
Life is like a river flowing on to the end -
Life is like a river flowing on to the end
