River

Dedicated to Scott Liebler

RIVER

If you want to touch

The deepest part of your soul

Simply let go into the current of the river

Snagged on the debris

Grasp for the bank

Clutch at a tree

You still can go with the flow

Simply let go into the current of the river

Deep into the stream

Life`s just a dream

Where you will end up

No one knows

Simply let go into the current of the river

Ashes they float away

The memories remain in me

They form the underwater tapestry

Of all that was and what shall be

Judgement stands in the way

It floats away

If you discard what you know

Simply let go into the current of the river

Time it comes and goes

A deeper sense of it you`ll know

If you let go

Into the current of the river

Love slips thru your hands

Woman and Man

They come together again and again

Within the current of the river

Ashes they float away

The memories remain in me

They form the underwater tapestry

Of all that was and what shall be

Pain we make it up

Comes when we`re trying too hard

Simply let go into the current of the river

If you want to touch

The deepest part of your soul

Simply let go into the current of the river
