When you're swimming in a river And you're thirsty still If love has kissed you deeply But you still can't feel Where the river ends Where it starts, where it goes How the river bends What it sees, and what it knows Singin' through the land of the seeds that were sown What the river holds, we don't know 'til it's gone If you're turnin' to the stars And still you can't find space If all that you believed in Is gone without a trace Where the river ends Where it starts, where it goes How the river bends What it sees, and what it knows Singin' through the land of the seeds that were sown What the river holds, we don't know 'til it's gone When the world you're in's a desert And you can't find sun Surrounded by so many You're the only one If you're looking for a meaning And there isn't one Move on and love this life 'cause it's the only one Where the river ends Where it starts, where it goes How the river bends What it sees, and what it knows Singin' through the land of the seeds that were sown What the river holds, we don't know 'til it's gone
