Life Is Like A River

(专辑： My Dear Old Southern Home - 1991)

Life is like a river that runs to eternity
And all must ride that river, honey, just like you or me
It's sometimes rough and muddy with rapids along the way
For some, the trip is shorter, but all must have their day

There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me
Lots of love and happiness far as the eye can see

There's a dark and muddy current that can sweep your boat from sight
If you pass that point of no return, there's a dark and end-less night
There's also a mighty boatman and he's out there every day
Just put your life in His hands and you're safely on your way

There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me
Lots of love and happiness far as the eye can see

We've rode this raging river when the banks were caving in
When the storms have almost beating us, we've always tried again
Let's keep the faith together, encouraging our friends
Until we reach that crystal sea of life that never ends

There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me
Lots of love and happiness far as the eye can see
