A song about the unstoppable passage of time

Lyrics

RIVER

By Andromeda Wong

Far beneath the teeming earth
Caverns built like granite halls
Springs the fountain of my birth
Streamlets into waterfalls
Past the groves of ancient trees
River turns to estuary
Hear the calling of the seas
So my future calls to me

CHORUS:
Flow like a river
Lost in the sea
Swept by the current
Still waters run deep in me

Rivers carve the canyon wall
So uncertain where I stand
Solid are the mountains tall
Yet I fall on sinking sand
Time is king and I abide
I'm enslaved by age and fear
Seasons rise and ebb like tides
How the waves dissolve the years

CHORUS

I could hear the vultures cry, far above
Waiting for my soul to die, like a fallen dove
Blood will seep into the ground
From the earth reborn again
By this cycle we are bound
Stream to river, sea to rain

CHORUS x 2
