Verse               Hand in the river holding on

                        Missing the people who have gone

                        Slip through my fingers, memory lingers

                        Whispering names into the dawn

Chorus           Flowing between banks and bed

                        The water streams ahead

                        Fed by currents far upstream

                        The river flows with dreams, flows with dreams

Verse               Hand in the river letting go

                        Releasing the people that I know

                        Yield to the changes, a heart rearranges

                        Just being carried by the flow

Chorus           Flowing between banks and bed

                        The water streams ahead

                        Fed by currents far upstream

                        The river flows with dreams, flows with dreams

Bridge            Paths of rain that collect deep inside my brain

                        Riverbeds are the cradles for watersheds

                        Banks embrace the path every river takes

                        It’s the flow that makes every river go

Verse              Hand in the river feeling grace

                        Seeking reflections of a face

                        I’ll flow with the river, be a forgiver

                        Pray that my heart is keeping pace

Chorus           Flowing between banks and bed

                        The water streams ahead

                        Fed by currents far upstream

                        The river flows with dreams, flows with dreams
