The river still flows

The river still runs

It's there in the blood
And the folks we came from

It moves through our veins

And it winds through our hearts
As the babies are born

And the old folks depart

As it ends it's only begun

As life goes on and the river runs

I hold my grandchild

As I look in his eyes

I see the reflection

Of faces gone by

I knew them quite well

And I loved them so much
And I'd just like to thank them

For staying in touch

As it ends so it begins
In the circle dance
As we all join in
As it ends it's only begun
As life goes on and the river runs

As it ends so it begins
In the circle dance

As we turn and spin
As it ends it's only begun

As the wheel of life rolls on and on

And on and on

Life goes on and the river runs

And runs, and runs

Life goes on and the river runs

It Is What It Is
