Picture yourself as the flowing river Nothing ever stays the same Be like the flowing river Live your life without shame Counting the stars is an impossible task And you won't ever find someone to ask Reaching out for all that you don't have Life is going to give it to you some day Flow down the river of yourself Everything you pass will be your own And where you will get you'll be leaving And nothing in the world is ever owned Float very peaceful, reflect the stars above Tomorrow you might be storming down a hill And as you flow on you will feel somewhat wider Experiences will fill you up - it's a good thing No one ever feels at home Home is up above and somewhere else A rose isn't something very strong But it knows how to carry on I used to be like the poisonous stillness Stuck in the waters of my brain What drove me from there was fed up with illness If I stayed I would have gone insane And I know that life won't give me anything but good and bad It's all that I will get, it's all that I ever had And I feel so grateful for all that I meet It's as if I was never born alone
