A River Runs Through
As a young boy steps out to the rivers edge
Gracefully casting his line to catch his prey
Setting out into the still darkened sky
And wading in the calming flow of nature itself
Listening to the wind tell you it's stories
Of life's greatest wonders and what it knows
Never really changing with each passing day
Where the world is alive in all our hearts
The young boy now growing older steps into the sun
Meeting new challenges when the sky is on high
Wishing to be the man he was meant to be
While waiting by the rivers edge as the sun goes down
Thinking of what stories nature can tell
Of how many ages ago it all began
Changes throughout time that makes it worth while
It's beauty that makes us wonder why we are here
A river runs through the center of life
As the seasons change so do our minds
As an old man steps out to the rivers edge
He remembers his days as a young little boy
