ROLL ON RIVER

Roll on river, roll on
roll on to the sea
Take me along on your current so strong
Carry me so peacefully

Roll on river, roll on
to places that I long to see
and at the end of your race
I'll in a place where I'm free

Roll on river, roll on
through the early morning fog
and into the bright blue sumer sky
please carry me along

Roll on river, roll on
your banks are so full of the times
I spent over the years
learning the lessons of life

A journey through seasons again and again
Harsh winters and the warm rains of spring
flowers will bloom, and hearts start to sing

the dog days of summer call the autumn leaves turn
brilliant color's they'll be
there's always one last winter before we are free

Roll on river, roll on
from the present back over the past
for what I've become is all that I've done
and the memories are fading fast
Roll on river, roll on
the moon keeps on turning the tides
and the sun sets and rises
and you don't want to miss the last time
