Story Behind The Song

I was inspired to write the melody of this song while playing a piano selection by Claude Debussy. His harmonies always fascinate me. To me, the music sounded like water flowing over a familiar path, turning a bend into paradise of wilderness. The name of this song is french for "The RIver."

Song Description

Gives the feeling of being out in the wilderness, on the prairie, or walking along a quite trail in the woods where a river quietly runs

Lyrics

Vs 1: Treading this lonely road, journey'd so long
Tears stain the pathway where the river runs along

Ch: Cross through the waters now, no turning back
Lay down your burdens now, He'll bring you through at last

Vs 2: Smiling through disbelief, trembling inside
Fears would encompass and yet courage will abide

(chorus)
