Song of the River~

This is a song I wrote for a book I am writing, Lithians...



We must follow the river,

We must follow its gentle flow.

We must follow the river,

It will show us where to go.

Through the swift currents,

The rapid torrents,

We follow.

Along the pebbly shore,

Though we be deaf from the roar,

We follow.

We must follow the river,

We must follow its gentle flow.

We must follow the river,

It will show us where to go.

To find the place we seek,

Hidden in the shadows of the past,

Though death we may meet,

We know that at the last…

We must follow the river,

We must follow its gentle flow.

We must follow the river,

It will show us where to go.

If I be lost in the dark,

And the waters do not part,

The river is a gentle, guiding lady,

Her garments graced with foamy lace.

She leads me on, lost and cast away,

To my sought’n place.

I will follow the river,

I will follow her guiding flow.

I will follow the river,

Till I reach the place I know…
