There's a river running through me like the one behind my house

Where I used to go and sit when I was quiet as a mouse

I would watch the water flowing and I'd wonder where it went

If it knew where it was going or just followed where it bent

Now I'm older and I'm restless and I'm searching for a sign

That the flow inside my heart is somehow connected to that line

Of water that kept moving through the seasons of my youth

When believing in tomorrow was the closest thing to truth

River running through me

River running wild and free

River running through me

To the person I'm supposed to be

Let it carry all my worries

Let it wash away my fears

River running through me

Through the laughter and the tears

I've been walking by the water in the early morning light

Thinking about the choices that I've made to get here right

And the river keeps on flowing like it did when I was ten

When the future was a mystery but I trusted it would happen

There's a heron on the bank side standing patient in the reeds

Like a statue of the wisdom that a searching soul needs

And I wonder if he's thinking about where the water goes

Or if he's just grateful for the peace that the river knows

River running through me

River running wild and free

River running through me

To the person I'm supposed to be

Let it carry all my worries

Let it wash away my fears

River running through me

Through the laughter and the tears

Seasons change but rivers flow

Taking time and letting go

What I thought I had to hold

Turns to stories to be told

River running through me

River running to the sea

River running through me

Teaching me to just let be

All the things I cannot change

All the dreams that rearrange

River running through me

Setting my spirit free

And the river keeps on flowing

Like it always has before

And I'm flowing with the river

To tomorrow's unknown shore...
