River

Isn't she a river? She doesn't need a diamond to shine You can't really have her But you can hold her for a time Takes an army just to bend her Be careful where you send her You can't hold her back for long A river is just too strong And she's a river Arms made out of silver Moving in a crooked line Carrying some dreamers Off into the end of time You don't need to save her Or teach her to behave Just let her arms unwind Ever changing and undefined She's a river You can ride her easy when she's slow Walk across her when she's low Follow wherever she goes She's a river Run for cover when she's mad Drown in her tears when things are bad Don't you ever forget it that She's a river Isn't she a river? She doesn't need a diamond to shine So people call you clever But she's been here a long, long time And she's seen so many faces And places down the line She's been left for dead a million times Keeps coming home Arms open wide Ever changing and undefined She's a river She's a river She's a river
