The River (Coco Love Alcorn)

The river is a healer, the river is a sage

The river knows no end, & the river feels no age

The river is a leader, every single day

It’s living in the moment, & it always finds a way

Water heal my body, water heal my soul

When I go down, down to the water

By the water I feel whole

The river calls me over, it’s calling out my name

In the day & in the night, I hear that river all the same

It’s calling me over, calling out my pain

Oh a river gathers tears, just like a river gathers rain

Water heal my body, water heal my soul

When I go down, down to the water

By the water I feel whole

The river is a traveller, always on the go

A river never worries, if it’s fast or if it’s slow

River, river take me, to where I need to go

Oh, and I will just relax and let the river flow

Sing through my voice

Play through my hands

Let the way be open.
