Time is a River

Time is a river life is a boat

Gently down that stream I float

Just one “have-to” the rest are lies

I have to live until I die

I’m just me I can’t be you

Even if you want me to

Too hard to pull against the flow

So Gently down that stream I go

Fall short when I imitate

Be myself I’ll do great

I’m a child. My life’s a dream

Gently flowing down the stream

On the river bank you dance

Catch your eye a playful glance

Pull my boat upon your shore

Love you once I want some more

Repeat first verse

Winds of wisdom from the past

Carpenter from Galilee
