“River Of Life”
It’ll show you the way, don’t lose sight
You run with the river, flow with the river of lifeWhen you’re out on your own, in the cold all alone
Follow the river, it’ll carry you home
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of lifeEnjoyin’ life’s sights
Not lookin’ for trouble, don’t wanna fight
The strong survive and the weak get beat
Stay out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat
Stand up like a man and take it
When the cards fall the winner takes all
This is life you can’t fake it
Hear the voice in the night, it’s your guide shinin’ bright
It’ll show you the way, don’t lose sight
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of life
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of life
Livin’ tough, lovin’ hard – you know it’s livin’ fast
How long will your life, or your money last
You got to learn to survive if you wanna last
Look to the spirit that’ll guide your path
‘Cause livin’ in the city can be mighty cruel
Hear the voice in the night, it’s your guide shinin’ bright
It’ll show you the way, don’t lose sight
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of life
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of life
Conscience has to make a choice, when the maker speaks, heed his voice
Tremble and shiver, flow with the river of life
When you’re out on your own, in the cold all alone
Follow the river, it’ll carry you home
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of life
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of life
Runnin’ – flowin’ – runnin’ – flowin’
Runnin’ with the river, flowin’ with the river of life
