Just got to thinking about how "analagous" our lives are to the turns and twists and "life" that a river has

The River
Words and Music
Charlie Tipton
I am traveling on this river,
Since my birth I’ve journeyed here
Felt the peace of its still water
Struggled in cold waves of fear
River, I can hear you whisper
As you dance your way to sea
Come embrace my joy and sorrow
Come and flow inside of me
River wide, river narrow
River shallow, river deep
Call my soul upon your journey
Along the winding path you weave
Bare me steadfast on your current
Hold my heart along the way
Safely on this pilgrim journey
To set sail another day
Let regret stream quickly by me
Leave the past to cry its tears
River keep your solemn promise
Faithful friend for all these years
For the seasons that I’ve travel
Bear me on your swelling tide
Til at last my soul is anchored
Safe at home there by your side
