Life's a River
Navigating Life's Flow: Reflections on the River of Time
Lyrics
Is the water any clearer now for you or me
Reflecting on the clarity of understanding in life, questioning whether it has improved for oneself or others.
And are we any closer to where we want to be
Contemplating the proximity to personal aspirations and goals, assessing if progress has been made.
Cause life's a river, whose water moves on and on
Comparing life to a river, emphasizing its continuous and unstoppable flow.
You keep longing for the past and those better times
Expressing a yearning for the past and nostalgic times, possibly regretting the present state.
The whole world was before you but now you're left behind
Feeling left behind in the current moment, contrasting with a time when the future seemed expansive.
Cause life's a river, whose water moves ever on and on
Reiterating the metaphor of life as a flowing river, underscoring its relentless forward movement.
And like the river, time flows on and on
Drawing a parallel between life and a river, emphasizing the continuity of time.
And like the water, your life's a moment but then it's gone
Comparing life to the transient nature of water, highlighting the fleeting aspect of existence.
Think of the past and all you used to know
Encouraging reflection on the past and what was once known, acknowledging the passage of time.
You took the good with the bad and just went with the flow
Advising acceptance of both positive and negative experiences, going with the natural course of life.
Cause life's a river whose water moves on and on
Reiterating the metaphor of life as an ever-flowing river, underscoring its unstoppable nature.
Your family, friends, some have come and gone
Acknowledging the transient nature of relationships, noting the departure of family and friends.
Whose souls float away but whose memories live on
Reflecting on the lasting impact of memories even when individuals are no longer physically present.
Cause life's a river, whose water moves ever on and on
Reiterating the metaphor of life as a continuous river, emphasizing its relentless flow.
And like the river, time flows ever on
Drawing parallels between the flow of time and the perpetual movement of a river.
And like the water, your life's a moment but then it's gone
Comparing life to water, emphasizing its fleeting and transient nature.
Love is found and lost or maybe not at all
Exploring the theme of love, acknowledging its impermanence and the uncertainty of its presence or absence.
You'll sink or you'll swim and you'll rise and you'll fall
Using swimming and sinking as metaphors for the highs and lows of life, acknowledging the cyclical nature of experiences.
Cause life's a river, whose water moves on and on
Reiterating the metaphor of life as an ever-moving river, emphasizing its unstoppable flow.
Far down the stream you'll look back on today
Looking ahead to the future and anticipating a reflective perspective on the present from a distant point in time.
with pride or regret, there's no one can say
Acknowledging the uncertainty of future feelings towards the present, whether with pride or regret.
Cause life's a river, whose water moves on and on
Reiterating the metaphor of life as a continuous river, underscoring its relentless flow.
And like the river, time flows ever on
Drawing parallels between the passage of time and the perpetual movement of a river.
And like the water, your life's a moment but then it's gone
Comparing life to water, emphasizing its momentary and transient nature.
