Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life is a teacher, time is a healer
And I'm a believer like a river wild
Ego's a killer, greed is a monster
But love is stronger, stronger than them all
[Verse 2]
White flag in hand, I don't want to fight
No lines in the sand, I'm on your side
Invisible, no color life
It's time we put our, put our, put our differences aside
[Verse 3]
Time tells no lies
It keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by
But if you're lucky it will be kind
Like a river flowing through time
[Verse 4]
(Like a river) Let it wash you clean
(Mighty river) Going up stream
(Like a river) Cutting through right
(Mighty river) 'Cause it never gives up
(Like a river) So full of life
(Mighty river) Liquid like time
(Like a river) That'll wash away
(Mighty river) The pain from yesterday
[Verse 5]
Love is the answer, hate is a cancer
Hope of forgiveness, it waters the soul
Our blood is red, we're not so different
'Cause underneath our skin we're identical
[Verse 6]
White flag in hand, I'm not gonna fight
No lines in the sand, I'm on your side
Invisible, no color life, oh
It's time we put our, oh, put our differences aside
[Verse 7]
We know wrong from right, oh
Time tells no lies
It keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by
But if you're lucky it will be kind
Oh, like a river flowing through time, oh, oh
[Verse 8]
(Like a river) Let it wash you clean
(Mighty river) Going up stream
(Like a river) Cutting through right
(Mighty river) 'Cause it never gives up
(Like a river) So full of life
(Mighty river) Liquid like time
(Like a river) Let it wash away
(Mighty river) The pain from yesterday
[Verse 9]
(Like a river) Oh
(Mighty river) Rain down on me
(Like a river) All it takes is time
(Mighty river) To heal this bloodline
(Like a river) Let it wash me clean
(Mighty river) Get this dirt off me, yeah
(Like a river) Oh, oh
(Mighty river) Let it wash you clean
[Verse 10]
Oh, ooh
Ah, yeah
[Verse 11]
(Like a river) Oh, like a river
(Mighty river) Mighty, mighty river
(Like a river) Oh, yeah, yeah
(Mighty river) Let it wash away
(Like a river) Oh, oh
(Mighty river) All, all the hurt and pain
(Like a river) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Mighty river) Oh, mighty river (Mighty) Mighty river
