The River Lyrics by Solomon Ray

2016

[Verse 1]
Life is a slowly drifting river
It twists and it turns
Whist all the fires rage around us
The cool, clear waters make sure we'll never burn

[Verse 2]
Friends, they may come and they may go
We take our knocks from enemy and fall
But the river, now, it flows all the same
'Cause life, as we know, is just one long game

[Chorus]
Oh, the river, now is cool and its clear
It reflects back the voices, whoa, far and near
Oh, the river, now it runs all the same
Life, as we know, is just one long game

[Verse 3]
Life is a slowly drifting river
The torrents twist and turn
Don't, no, don't you ever feel alone
The river will carry you safely home

[Chorus]
Oh, the river, now is cool and its clear
It reflects back the voices, oh, far and near
Oh, the river, now it runs all the same
Life, as we know, is just one long game

Oh, the river, now is cool and its clear
It reflects back the voices, whoa, far and near
Oh, the river, now it runs all the same
Life, as we know, is just one long game

[Outro]
Life, as we know, is just one long game
Life, as we know, is just one long game
