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
