lyrics
A River runs Slow Deeply and Low
Steady but never Still
Like leaves in the wind
We shiver and spin Blown without a Will
This Life is an ocean of Love
Let every heart, Rise above
A man walks alone
A long way from home
Far from his family and friends
Like a blackbird he flies
Across darkening skies
Trying to get back to them
This Life is an ocean of Love
Let every heart Rise Above
On and On and On and On
We whistle at the sun
On and On and On We Run
A baby is born
Like a thunderstorm
A father's pride lights up the night
In the wink of an eye A lifetime goes by
One chance to get it right
This Life is an ocean of Love
Let every heart Rise Above
Let every heart Rise Above
Steady but never Still
Like leaves in the wind
We shiver and spin Blown without a Will
This Life is an ocean of Love
Let every heart, Rise above
A man walks alone
A long way from home
Far from his family and friends
Like a blackbird he flies
Across darkening skies
Trying to get back to them
This Life is an ocean of Love
Let every heart Rise Above
On and On and On and On
We whistle at the sun
On and On and On We Run
A baby is born
Like a thunderstorm
A father's pride lights up the night
In the wink of an eye A lifetime goes by
One chance to get it right
This Life is an ocean of Love
Let every heart Rise Above
Let every heart Rise Above
