Life's Like A River

Scorpions · In Trance

As years are passing by
Silence becomes your friend
You see the world in a different way
Don't be afraid of getting old
Life's still full of joy
And the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind

When days are getting short
And winter comes along
Your life slows down and down
Like a river is getting wide
The worlds have lost their voice
You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea

When days are getting short
And winter comes along
Your life slows down and down
Like a river is getting wide
The worlds have lost their voice
You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea

Life's like a river in the mountain
Life's like a sea without end
Life's like a river in the mountain
Life's like a sea without end

Life's like a river in the mountain
Life's like a sea without end
Life's like a river in the mountain
Life's like a sea without end

Life's Like A River

Life's Like A River stands as a compelling song in the Scorpions' extensive catalogue, appearing on the 1996 album In Trance. This recording captures the band during a period of stylistic exploration, blending their signature hard rock foundation with the atmospheric textures that defined the mid-1990s era. The track exemplifies the group's ability to craft emotive melodies that resonate with themes of movement and endurance, hallmarks of their broader discography. While the album itself represents a specific chapter in their career, the song maintains the melodic strength and dynamic range that fans have long associated with the German rock legends. It serves as a testament to their enduring influence within the genre, showcasing a production style that balances introspection with the powerful guitar work that has characterized their body of work for decades.
