We Are The River

Back when I was younger All I really had to know Was how late could I stay up How far could I skip a stone Life was easy Oh-oh-oh, we had it easy I remember lighting fires Down by the River Dee We were drinking cans of cider Bought them with a fake ID And life was easy Oh-oh-oh, we had it easy But I know those days are gone The current pushes us along 'Cause we are the river Always searching for the sea We are the seasons Changing colours on the breeze We are the reason And we're always gonna be If we keep moving on We are the river I've been drivin' down the back roads In the middle of the day I take time out in the shallows When I've got nothing to say And I'll be wading out into the deeper water When I know it's time to leave Won't you come with me? I know there's more to come The current pushes us along 'Cause we are the river Always searching for the sea We are the seasons Changing colours on the breeze We are the reason And we're always gonna be If we keep moving on We are the river Always trying to find a place To live forever Before it carries us away We are believers And we're always gonna be If we keep moving on If all we have is time I won't swim against the rising of the tide 'Cause the future's yours and mine It's yours and mine We are the river Always searching for the sea We are the seasons Changing colours on the breeze We are the reason And we're always gonna be If we keep moving on We are the river Always trying to find a place To live forever Before it carries us away We are believers And we're always gonna be If we keep moving on We are the river
