Well a river lives one long life From the raindrops to the sea And I am somewhere in the middle I'm just keeping good company As a baby you were tiny You were curious and free As you grew up you grew stronger You grew beautiful and serene Roll on river to the ocean Roll on round that river bend Roll on river to the ocean Where we soon will meet again Oh that river keeps on rollin' Made of water, soil, and sand Splits this nation into two sides As it unifies one great land When I come to my final ocean I know this thought will keep me warm All the water in this whole world Never dies it just changes form
