River Where Time Was Born

Take me back to my ancient home
Where I can be satisfied on my own
On the banks of the river where time was born

If you keep a tight lip and run a tight line
You can come along when the stars align
And we'll drift down the river where time was born

Call me old timer, call me lazy
Call me what you want but is it really that crazy
To float on the water and watch the trees go by?
Now when you jump in, there's only two ways
Either go with the flow or struggle and strain
Against the mighty strong pull of the river
Where time was born

I had a friend who died so young
Never had a choice since he was born
And he went underneath the dark cold water
And time rolled on

So release your machines, let go of your pain
Step off of the concrete and into the rain
Down by the ever flowing river where time was born

Oh take me back to a sacred place
Where I can do nothing with a smile on my face
By the side of the river where time was born

Come one come all out of your trees
You can't judge when you're down on your knees
By the side of the river where time was born
Down by the side of the river where time was born
By the side of the beautiful river where time was born
