I am a River
I fall down and slither
And disappear into the bay
My destination – I’ve nothing to say
________________________________
But I can dream I’m a sparkling stream
I can dream I have magical water
And splashing at will I can roar up a hill
I can go where I go
I can say what I say
I’m free to do what I will do
But freedom inside of a dream is not true
________________________________
I am a River
I fall down and slither
And disappear into the bay
My destination – I’ve nothing to say
I am a River
I am a River
I am a River
With nothing to say.
