Time is like a river My mother used to say All is in the river It could be cold, it could be wild Sometimes soft and clear So take a look around here You know Time is like a river Flowing through the world Time is like a river Running round and round Time is like a river It slowly slips away We are all passengers And the water gave us troubles When the stream was growing We must find a shelter Time is like a river Flowing through the world Time is like a river Running round and round Time is like a river My mother used to say All is in the river Flowing round and round the world Running around and round Time is like a river Flowing through the world Time is like a river Running round and round
