The River Flows Lyrics

When the rapids crash into me

And there's a hole in my canoe

When the white waves almost tip me

And there's nothing I can do

Except hold a little tighter

and hope that I stay higher than the tide

I've learned I'm just along for this ride

Cuz time will keep on going

The wind will keep on blowing

Gravity will keep on pulling me way down low

Trees will keep on growing

The earth will keep on turning

This life will keep on showing what I still don't know

I throw my hands up in this boat won't even try to row

And just go wherever the river flows

When I'm sinking under water

And I'm forced to change my plans

I wanna always be the author

But I just have to accept

That the current's gonna push me

To wherever it thinks I should be and maybeI'll finally see

That time will keep on going

The wind will keep on blowing

Gravity will keep on pulling me way down low

Trees will keep on growing

The earth will keep on turning

This life will keep on showing what I still don't know

I throw my hands up in this boat won't even try to row

And just go wherever the river flows

Time will keep on going

The wind will keep on blowing

Gravity will keep on pulling me way down low

Trees will keep on growing

The earth will keep on turning

This life will keep on showing what I still don't know

It's like this world has a mind of its own

So I'm just going and floating Wherever the river flows
