lyrics

I watch the ways of the river
Running wild, and strong and free
Undeterred in her journey
She sings a song that speaks to me

Oh to be like the river
Day by day to find my road
Calling out to streams surrounding
“Come with me, we’re going home”

And if I was like the river
I could sing out on the breeze
Oh the trees would hear my story and my song
Oh… the river

Oh to be like the mountain
High above the world below
Oh I’d have the strength to tell them
Oh Be strong and don’t let go.

And if I was like the mountain
I would sing to all these hills
Oh and they would know my story and my song
Oh… the mountain

Oh to be like the river
Every turn another road
I’d sing to everything surrounding
“Come with me, we’re going home”
