In this town somewhere close by
There is a river
Listening to my heart
I remember when
I walked that path
With my mother, hand in hand
Those warm hands
With sorrow now I come back
Searching shadows
Of her presence
Clinging to a dream I come back
Searching for her soul
Living in this world without her
I cry to sleep every night
We shared each moment of each
Precious day
And I still feel
She's always in my heart
In this world somewhere far away
There is a river
Longing for our return
There are stories that
Must be told
Teaching us the truth of the old
Down through the generations
With grief we go back
Searching for our home
With hope buried in our hearts
We come back
Searching for our pride
Flowing ever peacefully
It carries away the tears of the
Pain of this world
Merging into the ocean and
Becoming one with the universe
Life is just like a river's flow
And Life
Is just like a river's fate
With sorrow I come back
Seeking answers to my prayers
With hope
Buried in my heart I come back
Searching for my pride
Flowing ever peacefully
It carries away
The tears
Of the pain of this world
Merging into the ocean and
Becoming one with the universe
Just like us
It's a river's flow
