[Intro]

[verse] 
 0:00
Whether we laugh, or whether we cry, 
 0:00
the river of life goes rushing by, 
 0:16
down the hills and mountain sides, 
 0:19
into valleys, long and wide, 
 0:23
towards the ocean that is its goal, 
 0:26
it's journey travelled by our soul. 
 0:28
When I was but a little boy, 
 0:31
the river rippled and dashed with joy, 
 0:35
and as I grew and longed to learn, 
 0:38
the river for the ocean yearned. 
 0:41
As young man travelled round the world, 
 0:44
the river twisted, turned and twirled, 
 0:47
eager to find it's resting place, 
 0:50
eager to travel in time and space. 
 0:53
And as the seeking man grew older, 
 0:56
the river found the bigger boulders, 
 0:59
but on it travelled without care, 
 1:02
it knew it's destiny's not there. 
 1:05
The rushing water's now quite slow, 
 1:08
the river old has nothing to show, 
 1:11
it's happiness is calm and deep, 
 1:15
as old man takes his final sleep. 
 1:18
The ocean that is never ending, 
 1:21
is to the sky it's waters lending, 
 1:24
to rain again on mountain top, 
 1:27
to make sure life's rivers never stop. 
 1:30
[chorus] 
 1:33
The rivers message lies in this 
 1:33
Ocean of Mercy, Peace and Bliss. 
 1:36
The rivers message lies in this 
 1:39
Ocean of Mercy, Peace and Bliss. 
 1:42
