Lyrics
Life's ride down the river
Life's journey is like a river, with its ups and downs.
Everyday getting clearer
Everyday experiences bring clarity to life.
All the while getting nearer
Despite challenges, we are getting closer to our destination.
We all belong
We all have a place and purpose in life.
This place we've been delivered
We find ourselves in this place due to circumstances beyond our control.
Take the good with the bitter
Accept both the positive and negative aspects of life.
Some may dismiss you
Some may ignore or underestimate you.
We all belong
Reiteration that everyone has a sense of belonging.
When you and I

We were so far

All my life been gambling times

And the roads they'll take you down

And the winds will sweep your feet off the ground
Challenges and obstacles may lift you off the ground.
And the wheels they won't turn around
Once on a certain path, it may be challenging to change direction.
On that road that leads outta town
Referring to a road that leads away from a familiar place.
I've found

When you and I were so far away
