These words have all been sung before,

These chords have all been played

But if you’ve got some time to spare,

With you I’d like my thoughts to share

While inspiration freshly flows

My feelings soon to fade.

        Flowing down the river

        Flowing down the river

I’ve always been at least aware

Of things I couldn’t see

But fear disturbed the love I had

Would not allow me to be glad

And know I had the strength to bear

The change that set me free

- chorus -

At last I see my ups and downs

And view them all accordingly

And when I hear the truth I say

I watch my feelings change the day

The joy of living quite abounds
