I was rain water in a mountain stream
Fast and fresh and clear
I could feel the gravity
Rolling me down the hill
Over rocks and falls
Down the mountain side
The current carried me
Twisting through the land
On a journey to the sea
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
I followed my heart
Two joined streams
In the water floor
Fresh and fast and clean
The earth was changed forever
Till the current disappeared
Over wide flat land
When the water slowed
The path took many turns
One of them veered away
From the sea and didn't return
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
I followed my heart
Yeah, A damned-up creek
And a dried-up bed
From a mountain peek
To the rivers sudden end
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
I followed my heart
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
I've ridden the river
