Story Behind The Song
I quit practicing Catholicism as an adult, but some basic spiritual beliefs have stayed with me. This is my attempt to put them in words.
Song Description
I am spiritual but not religious. I believe that we take the love in our lives with us to eternity. Charlie DeChant did a great Sax part to this one!

Lyrics
Verse 1
Standing by the river back then
So full of optimism
I was young, it would be all right
I believed in something I guess
Though I never thought much about it
No I try to figure it out late at night
Chorus
We?re just drops that hit the sand
And flow down to the river
That spills on out into paradise
Where all the love we made
It just goes on and on
Yes I know it?s there waiting for you
Verse 2
Time just takes and takes
Every little thing away
And leaves us cold and naked at the shore
But baby the water is warm
And it?ll wash our pain away
I truly believe there?s something more
