Story Behind The Song
"River of Love" grew out of the idea of love as something you can't completely control or predict--you make the choice to step into it without knowing exactly where it will take you. The river became a natural metaphor for that feeling: moving forward, letting go of some of your uncertainty, and trusting the journey even when questions and fears remain.
The song is about someone who has spent a long time alone and suddenly finds a relationship that feels different. There's hope and excitement, but also vulnerability and the fear of whether it will last. Rather than presenting love as something perfect or certain, "River of Love" is about choosing to follow it anyway and seeing where it leads.
Song Description
"River of Love" is a romantic, cinematic pop-rock ballad about the uncertainty and exhilaration of falling in love after a long time alone. The song follows someone caught between the fear of where a relationship might lead and the growing realization that some things are worth surrendering to.
Built around the image of a flowing river, the song uses the journey downstream as a metaphor for love itself--unpredictable, constantly moving, and impossible to fully control. As doubt gives way to hope, "River of Love" becomes a song about trusting another person, letting yourself be vulnerable, and choosing to follow love without knowing exactly where it will take you.

Lyrics
I've been livin' here
Will I stay another year
Am I the one or just alone for the ride
When I've got you near
Is there justice in my fear
I wanna know
Or is it all in my mind
I will never disagree
Your sweet love could set me free
I'm movin' down the line
I wonder what I'll find
High on the stars above
Oh on the river of love
I was alone so long
Then you came along
My love was growin'
Watchin' the river flowin'
As we drift away
I get on my knees and pray
This is for real
Sharin' our love in the light
I would never disagree
Your sweet love will set me free
I'm movin' down the line
I wonder what I'll find
High on the stars above
Oh on the river of love
I would never disagree
Your sweet love will set me free
I'm movin' down the line
I wonder what I'll find
High on the stars above
Oh on the river of love
