The River

The river is young.
The river is old.
If you think it's warm,
it will be bitter cold.
The river tries
to be your friend,
and it can take you to the promise land.
Just take care not to fall.
Just take care not to fall.
Not to fall inside.
Not to fall inside.
The river is blue,
and sometimes brown.
The river is black deep on the ground.
The river moans,
the river cries,
and it will laugh about your desperate tries.
Just take care not to fall.
Just take care not to fall.
Not to fall inside.
Not to fall inside.
Just try to get your...
just try to get your ride.
The river's slow,
and sometimes fast.
It is our future, present, and our past.
So take your boat
and just watch the tide
and take your chance for a long, long ride.
Just take care not to fall.
Just take care not to fall.
Not to fall inside.
Not to fall inside.
