Lyrics
Life is a river of love
And the river empties into the sea
And the sea becomes the sky
There are rivers in the sky
And the sky becomes the rain
And the rain turns into streams
And the streams turn in
To the rivers again
Into mighty rivers of dreams
And all the dreams go flowing down
All the way to New Orleans
And all the dreams go flowing down
All the way to New Orleans
All the rivers of music
All the rivers of song
All the rivers of rhythm
Those rivers run long
And those rivers run strong
And the river can kill you in a thousand ways
If you fight the flow and try to swim the other way
So don’t, no no, go against flow
Life is a river of love
Love is a river of life
Life is a river, a river of love
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
