By the River

I was walkin' by the river

I held my hand out to feel the rain

Just a light rain

Almost a sun shower

Makin'all things shine again

And I felt like I belonged

I felt so strong

As I walked on

There was rhythm

And there was order

There was a balance

There was a flow

There was patience

Indulgence

There was a power

I could not know

And I felt it all made sense

The innocence

The permanence

I took my young son to the river

I held his hand out to feel the rain
