A rainbow passed me by, Making the river alive. A cloud began to cry, Making the sound alive. Then it started to give a reflection's conceptions, The river leapt to life, mmm, started to live. I reached down for that rainbow, River gives a smile. I couldn't touch that rainbow, I couldn't reach that mile. One just can't deceive a reflection's deceptions, The banks began to give, mmm, started to live. Roll on, roll on, river. Why surprised, oh river? Keep on rolling, river. Will you ever stop? Never! ‘Twas born a brand new song, The river started to sing. I saw how things must be, Only the river could ring. It's sure clear to me; so revealing, so appealing, The floor began to give, mmm, started to live. Roll on, roll on, river. Why so surprised, oh river? Keep on moving, river. Will you ever stop?
