As years are passing by Silence becomes your friend You see the world in a different way Don't be afraid of getting old Life's still full of joy And the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end

In the morning when I rise Jesus be my eyes Before the day rushes in With You is where I begin As You sing over me with Your love I will sing praise for all You have done Fill my heart as I hunger for You Flood my mind with Your wisdom, Your mercy, Your truth Father, make me a river Come living water Flow through me You are the One that I thirst for So, come living water Flow through me Guide every step I take Lord, let me not wander away Father, fill every word I speak With the same grace that You've given me Touch the world with my hands, they are Yours Let my love show the lost that You are the Lord Father, make me a river Come living water Flow through me You are the One that I thirst for So, come living water Flow through me Make me a river Make me a river Let the river flow Let the river flow Father, make me a river Come living water Flow through me, yeah You are the One that I thirst for So, come living water Flow through me Let the river flow (Father, make me a river) Let the river flow (living water, flow through me) Let the river flow (Father, make me a river) Let the river flow (living water, flow through me) Father, make me a river Come living water Flow through me

Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away

Now you say you're lonely, You cry the whole night through. Well you can cry me a river, Cry me a river, I cried a river over you. Now you say you're sorry, For being so untrue. Well you can cry me a river, Cry me a river, I cried a river over you. You drove me, nearly drove me, Out of my head; While you never shed a tear. Remember, I remember, All that you said; Told me love was too plebeian, Told me you were through with me And Now you say you love me, Well, just to prove you do, Come on and cry me a river, Cry me a river, I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river over you
