lyrics

I’m one drop in a sunlit sky where seagulls fly, they rise and fall
I can’t stop now a cloud is flying, the sky is crying and the seagulls call
And now I go with the river, I go where the river goes
I flow with the river, I know what the river knows

I sit still in the sound of silence and feel the fire in my eyes and ears
And I know there’s no point in violence cos fear and fighting only ends in tears
So I go with the river, I go where the river goes
And I flow with the river, I know what the river knows

That I will rise up with the sun and I will fall down with the rain
And I will flow like a river goes back from where I came
Back home, back home

Time moves me on, I keep moving on
Life moves me on

High tide and the moon is rising and clouds are dancing for the dying day
In a blue sky where the birds are flying, the clouds are crying, I can hear them say
Go with the river, go where the river goes
Flow with the river and know what the river knows

Cos you will rise up with the sun and you will fall down with the rain
And you will flow like a river goes back from where you came
Back home, back home

Time moves me on, I keep moving on
Life moves me on

And I will rise up with the sun and I will fall down with the rain
And I will flow like a river goes back from where I came
Back home, back home
