What is life, but a river
An ever going and changing stream
And if I've learned anything, anything so far
It's that life isn't meant for the faint of heart
So may your fire keep you warm in the coldest of nights
May all your dreams be on the bold side of life
May you have the courage to be the yes in a choir of no's
And may your heart never grow cold
Oh life, you ever changing river
I can barely keep my head above water
And tho at times I love you with all my heart
I often wonder why livin' you is so hard
It might seem easier to drown
Just let the tides take you down
But life is precious and so are you
Everybody's got a time
And everybody's got to go
So you better keep your eyes always on the road
May you never be, never be afraid to be wrong
And may hard times find you when you're strong
Oh life, you ever-changing river
I can barely keep my head above water
And tho at times, I love you with all my heart
I often wonder why livin' you is so hard
