This River

Right here at the mouth of this river
 Where we stand today
 I swear I can hear everything
 That I had long been wanting to say
 So take your deepest breath and ask
 Will we last and why
 Truth is, the answer runs
 Right through our town
 And the rest of our lives
 Here on this river
 On a course for keeps
 After all these years
 We're still here
 This river runs deep
 My mind can wander off
 Scattering thoughts out there
 In a world gone adrift
 I get tangled up and I get scared
 But we tied our soul strings
 To stand the test of time
 So when you feel me pulling away
 Just give me a tug back home on the line
 That's here on this river
 On a course for keeps
 After all these years
 We're still here
 This river runs deep
 It can't be dammed by beast or man
 Or swallowed by thirsty land
 Twisting, winding but running true
 I'll brave the turns with you
 Here on this river
 On a course for keeps
 After all these years
 We're still here
 This river runs deep
