The River

To the river I went
in the heat of the day
to the river of life
to wash the heat away

To the river I went
in the dark of the night
to the river of life
in search of the light

To the river I went
in the cold of the winter
to the river of life
seeking warmth and shelter

To the river I went
in the bloom of the spring
to the river of life
as the song birds sing

To the river I went
in the warmth of the summer
to the river of life
to lay down and wonder

To the river I went
in the colours of the autumn
to the river of life
and stared down to the bottom

To the river I went
every day
and the river of life
carried me away.

To the river we go
its where we should be
the river of life
will set us free
