The river is flowing, flowing and growing

The river is flowing, down to the sea

Earth, carry me, a child I will always be

Earth, carry me, down to the sea

From mountain to river bed, so will the fields be fed

From mountain to river bed, down to the sea

Meander through waterfall, follow the ocean’s call

Meander through waterfall, down to the sea

The river is flowing, flowing and growing

The river is flowing, back to the sea

Mother Earth carry me, the child that I will always be

Mother Earth carry me, back to the sea

The good times with his friends

He once did think he knew them

Until they broke down all his fences

In the town there's people hurting

People that can't understand

Why the son of life and gladness is moving to another land

There's no number they can call to

No addresses left to write

No goodbye hugs for children

No more kisses as goodnight

From the heavens i hear noises from the bottle counting tears

And a hundred men are writing songs and poetry of fears

Only time can heal a broken heart

I once heard a wise man say

But for the man who left his past

Will time just send him further away

Will he come back again
