lyrics

Sat looking at a bubbling creek
Water looks so serene
But forever we cannot stay
For the clouds above are grey

Rain falls down and it really seems
Each trickle is a tiny stream
Fill the river to the very top
A torrent you cannot stop

This river marches forward
Try to swim back and you will find
Struggling against the water
But you can't go back in time

Swept away and now you must go
Wherever this river flows
But no one really knows
Their destination I suppose

This river marches forward
Try to swim back and you will find
Struggling against the water
But you can't go back in time

You've got to stay afloat
Are you really in control?

Taking everything in its path
You witness nature's wrath
The worries of yesterday
Are washed out into the bay

This river marches forward
Try to swim back and you will find
Struggling against the water
But you can't go back in time
