Riversong

I laid down by the river's edge I laid down wondering where it led I laid down by the river's edge And I woke up in a river bed There were flowers in my hair River flowers floating everywhere And all the fishes came and kissed my feet Dear old fishes, they said to me They said oh, we could love you But we are not yet what you want Because oh, anyone could love you You've got to find where you belong All my needles, they were gone so fast Not a needle left on a branch I grew weaker and the river strong I said, hey fishes But the fish were gone Now the boulders I know they heard me cry But they were stone-faced and they stood aside So I went on at the river's pace With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say They said oh, we could love you But we are not yet what you want Because oh, we would only crush you You've got to find where you belong How does it feel To be so certain Without question Of your purpose Your position Of your place Of your home' Of your place Of your home You cannot catch the river though It makes you think you can It trickles through your fingers While you hold it in your hands Just like I am Just like I am Just like I am Just like I am
