We're all born into this river without knowing how to swim
And eventually we learn how to keep this water under our chins
Some times this river is so cold to be in
Freezing my soul, solidifying my skin
Regardless of how far I see, I never see my travels end
Were carried by the current, being driven by the wind
The scenery we pass, we'll never see again
So we store it up as memories and don't let go of them
We're under a spell thinking the river should go straight
We set goals and desires to control our own fate
But all the pain we experience is a result of our expectations
Because it's the rivers nature to twist and turn The shit can burn
And I know it I have the same conflict But I try to sit and flow with this rivers natural process
And sometimes when I watch myself float downstream I see the beauty of it all, and it feels like
a dream And at that time I appreciate the rivers course Some call it God, reality
