I was walkin' by the river I held my hand out to feel the rain Just a light rain Almost a sun shower Makin'all things shine again And I felt like I belonged I felt so strong As I walked on There was rhythm And there was order There was a balance There was a flow There was patience Indulgence There was a power I could not know And I felt it all made sense The innocence The permanence I took my young son to the river I held his hand out to feel the rain
