River of Time
Navigating Life's Currents: Reflections Along the River of Time
Lyrics
I saw the river today and it made me feel okay,
I found solace or contentment when I observed the river today.
But I never ever had a lot to say,
I've generally been reserved or not talkative.
Reading a book take a look at a boat go by,
Engaging in a simple activity like reading, observing a boat pass by.
oh, oh, oh, oh I sigh
An expression of sighing, possibly indicating reflection or emotion.
I've been throwing a coin into the river
I've been making wishes by tossing coins into the river.
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
Expressing a hopeful or whimsical sentiment while observing the water's movement.
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
I occasionally stroll along the river of time.
Leaving all my thoughts behind
Leaving my thoughts behind, possibly seeking escape or a break from contemplation.
I saw the river today and it made me feel free,
The river today evoked a feeling of freedom in me.
Oh tell me what is happening to me,
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about personal experiences.
I catch my reflection and suddenly see,
Noticing a transformation in oneself when seeing a reflection.
The woman the girl couldn't be
Reflecting on the changes and growth from girlhood to womanhood.
So I'm throwing my youth into the river,
I'm metaphorically letting go of my youth.
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
Continuing to make wishes as I watch the water's movement.
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
Regularly revisiting the river of time in my walks, leaving behind thoughts.
Leaving all my thoughts behind
Continuing the theme of contemplation and introspection.
[Chorus Chant:]
[Chorus Chant]
Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
Highlighting the cyclical nature of seasons and the consistent flow of time.
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
Despite changes, the river continues to flow, and this is widely known.
Come the summertime all the churches chime
In the summer, churches ring their bells for the river of time.
For thye river of time
Emphasizing the significance of the river in the passing of time.
I saw the river today and I started to cry,
The river today evoked sadness, leading to tears.
Cause the promise it made was a lie,
The promises made by the river were deceitful or unfulfilled.
Stumbling brook you're a crook, take a look and see
Describing the river as a deceitful entity with negative consequences.
See what you've done to me
Reflecting on the negative impact of the river on the speaker.
So I'm throwing my heart into the river,
I'm symbolically letting go of my emotions or feelings.
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
Abandoning wishes that were never fulfilled or came true.
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
Continuing to walk by the river of time but with a sense of detachment.
Leaving all my thoughts behind
Consistently leaving behind my thoughts, perhaps to find peace.
Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of winter, wind, and flowing water.
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
Despite changes, the river continues to flow, and this is widely known.
Come the summertime all the churches chime
In the summer, churches ring their bells for the river of time.
For thye river of time
Emphasizing the continued importance of the river in the passing of time.
So I'll keep throwing a coin into the river,
I persist in making wishes by tossing coins into the river.
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
Letting go of wishes that were never fulfilled or came true.
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
Continuing to walk by the river of time, leaving behind thoughts.
Leaving all my thoughts behind
Consistently emphasizing the act of leaving thoughts behind while walking by the river.
See as your life changes as you're pulled along by time...
Observing life changes as one is carried along by the inevitable force of time.
