The River

Times they are changing And times they are moving And everything I ever knew Will never be the same I lie awake in the same old way But there's something in the air And it's calling me in I know I'll follow I don't think about it anymore As the summer ends I think of Alaska by it's heart You imagine the seasons Want you by my side And I know this winter Is going to be especially cold Like the river I roll along Today I'm here Tomorrow I'm gone I saw a group of birds passing by They were moving like a school of fish in the sky I hold onto that moment and keep it close to me Cause it's times like that that i feel so small And I'm humbled And I feel one with it all And my roots dig deep And my branches are so high Like the river I roll along Today I'm here Tomorrow I'm gone Like the river I roll, I roll along Today I'm here Tomorrow I'm gone I've walked and I've walked And I still have so far to tread I just need to keep that flock of birds inside my head And that fluttering inside my chest Like the river I roll along Today I'm here Tomorrow I'm gone Like the river I roll along Today I'm here Tomorrow I'm gone
