River Of Life

(album: Brother's Keeper - 1990)

Hear the voice in the night, it's your guide shining bright
It'll show you the way, don't lose sight
You run with the river, flow with the river of life

When you're out on your own, in the cold all alone
Follow the river, it'll carry you home
Running with the river, flowing with the river of life

Enjoying life's sights
Not looking for trouble, don't wanna fight
The strong survive and the weak get beat
Stay out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat
Stand up like a man and take it
When the cards fall the winner takes all
This is life you can't fake it

Hear the voice in the night, it's your guide shining bright
It'll show you the way, don't lose sight
Running with the river, flowing with the river of life
Running with the river, flowing with the river of life

Living tough, loving hard you know it's living fast
How long will your life, or your money last
You got to learn to survive if you wanna last
Look to the spirit that'll guide your path
'Cause living in the city can be mighty cruel

Hear the voice in the night, it's your guide shining bright
It'll show you the way, don't lose sight
Running with the river, flowing with the river of life
Running with the river, flowing with the river of life

Conscience has to make a choice, when the maker speaks, heed his voice
Tremble and shiver, flow with the river of life

When you're out on your own, in the cold all alone
Follow the river, it'll carry you home

Running with the river, flowing with the river of life
Running with the river, flowing with the river of life
Running flowing running flowing
Running with the river, flowing with the river of life
