Naked - LET THE RIVER FLOW Lyrics

LET THE RIVER FLOW
An old man once told me all you need to know
Just slow it all down and go with the flow
A young man I once was
Thought the planet had my back
Blind confidence led me to every cul de sac

All that you attract
Will make the river flow
All will come to pass
When you
Let the river flow

A teen dream I have been
Inexperience was my tool
I thought I knew the secret
You knew I was a fool
A babe in arms I once was
With an empty head to fill
My Ma my guiding hand
My moral compass she is still

And so it spins like a merry go round
Far in the future I can hear the sound
Of children singing a song I know
A tune I taught my boys
Passed on like the river flows
An embryonic start
Straight from the love of 2 before me
Now here I stand a singer man
With 2 of my own part of the family...
