Like a Flowing River
Like a flowing river
my spirit flows to where it goes,
out where the vast sea of life is,
fresh as a cold morning dew.
Seeking to fill this wide world
with all the love that I have,
tireless as a swift-flowing river,
endless as the blue, blue sky.
To love is what I am here for
to care for my fellowman;
the road is rough and thorny
yet my love lives endlessly
like a flowing river.
I may just be a little leaf
floating on the restless water
but I'll go anywhere it takes me
till I find you out in the sea.
