By The River

I was walkin' by the river

I held my hand out to feel the rain



Just a light rain

Almost a sun shower

Makin'all things shine again



And I felt like I belonged

I felt so strong

As I walked on



There was rhythm

And there was order



There was a balance

There was a flow



There was patience

Indulgence

There was a power

I could not know



And I felt it all made sense

The innocence

The permanence



I took my young son to the river

I held his hand out to feel the rain
