Sometimes it scares me
How fast these waters rushing
Sometimes it stuns me
How the people keep hushing me down
Sometimes I'm frightened
To let the waters take me
I pray the rocks won't break me
But then
I feel sweet love
Like a river
Pouring from above
And I know, yes I know
This is the river called life

Sometimes I hesitate

I just put my big toe in
Sometimes I am so brave
I jump right in for a long, long swim
Sometimes the waterfalls they
Tumble me right under
Ears are filled with thunder
So scared, yet I feel sweet love
Like a river, pouring from above

And I know yes I know
This is the river called life

Take me to the River
Take me to the River
Take me to the River
The River called Life
