River Bends

River Bends Is it fate's sordid trick? Or did all reason just fall sick Maybe it's not all we hoped for We wanted so much more Was it strange, that we two dreamed? No it couldn't be, having never seemed It lifted us up, that we didn't pretend Like the Sun rise, it will never end It carried us high into the light And raging far into the night Yet in the river's bend I found The current's strong, pulling me down Swim hard if you wish to turn around For this we must do, or drown Let us remain to dream a while longer, for here on the other each depends And we all need support where the river bends Together we can stay forever, forevermore with many Amens Because no one needs to be alone when the river bends
