Lyrics
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” *
Our souls rejoice when we dive into the river and we flow with the current, flow with the river downstream, downstream, flow, flow.
The river delights in setting us free if only we dare, if only we dare let go.
The river delights in lifting us free if only we dare, if only we dare let go, let go and flow.
Let go, let go and flow. Let go, surrender and flow, let go, surrender and flow.
Flow, downstream, surrender, trust the river and flow, downstream, flow, flow.
The wisdom of the river is to flow. The wisdom of the soul is to go with the flow.
The river rejoices when we let go the shore, when we let go the fight and we flow, with life...the river of life, the river of life, our souls rejoice in the flow.
“Though I cannot see it with my eyes, I trust the river knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. The river delights in lifting us free, if only we dare let go.” **
