Dana Parish – The River lyrics
The river is wide
It opens up its arms and holds you just like a child
The river is wise
It tells you where to go, it shows you which way to fly

You don't know where it all went wrong
Was a miracle just supposed to fall?
Stop your running and look behind you
A minute goes by and the river runs dry
The river runs dry

The river is deep
It holds onto the secrets we all try to keep
And time never slows
You can see your reflection and then away it goes

You don't know where it all went wrong
Was a miracle just supposed to fall?
Stop your running and look behind you
A minute goes by and the river runs dry
The river runs dry

It was beautiful but you worried it away
It was nothin' but a warm summer day

The river is long
All you gotta do is listen to hear her song

You don't know where it all went wrong
Was a miracle just supposed to fall?
Stop your running and look behind you
A minute goes by and the river runs dry
The river runs dry
