Stream

Liquid stream of life,
 River, powerful force. 
 Mix it with hope, mix it with dreams
 Mix it with love, mix it with affection
 Mix it addiction, mix it with despair
 Mix it with liquor, mix it with beer
 Mix it medicine, whole lot of drugs
 Mix it with therapy, with false promise
 Mix it with illusion and confusion
 It wont stop, it won’t change its course,
 It will run its mighty flow to the final destination.
 Mix it with everything, it will just run faster.
 Don’t try to cheat, don’t try to defeat it.
 Just mix it, mix it and make it run faster
 The thicker the faster, the sooner the better.
