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
