"Like the flowing river" Lyrics

Picture yourself as the flowing river
Nothing ever stays the same
Be like the flowing river
Live your life without shame

Counting the stars is an impossible task
And you won't ever find someone to ask
Reaching out for all that you don't have
Life is going to give it to you some day

Flow down the river of yourself
Everything you pass will be your own
And where you will get you'll be leaving
And nothing in the world is ever owned

Float very peaceful, reflect the stars above
Tomorrow you might be storming down a hill
And as you flow on you will feel somewhat wider
Experiences will fill you up - it's a good thing

No one ever feels at home
Home is up above and somewhere else
A rose isn't something very strong
But it knows how to carry on

I used to be like the poisonous stillness
Stuck in the waters of my brain
What drove me from there was fed up with illness
If I stayed I would have gone insane
And I know that life won't give me anything but good and bad
It's all that I will get, it's all that I ever had
And I feel so grateful for all that I meet
It's as if I was never born alone
