Life Is a River - Sophie B. Hawkins

Don’t let

Fear stop me now

I can’t bear to find out

That I’ve lied to myself

And risked not asking for your help

Life is a river

And it flows to the sea

I wont sit on the banks

And let it roll on by me

I need to ride on

This glistening trail

I wont get weary

With your breath in my sails

You chose

To keep right on

I’m choosing to transform

Just like being born

We all cross the misting current

One by One

Life is a river

And it flows to the sea

I wont sit on the banks

And let it roll on by me

I need to ride on

This glistening trail

I wont get weary

With your wind on my sails

So come with me darling

(potatoes fields in summertime)

And leave death behind

(running on the beach to fairyland)

We may steal a moment

(flattening pennies on the rail)

But we wont get more time

(making you furious and running away,

running away, running away)

Life is a river

And it flows eternally

Don’t worry baby

Let’s go To the sea.

Hush my baby don’t you cry

Mama’s gonna sing you a lullabye
