Be like the river and cut through the stone
Fight like a lion defending his home
Be like the river and cut through the bone
Oh, never afraid that you're ever alone
Be like the river when your soul is free
Your body will follow the flow of the stream
Be like the river when these times are hard
And gather yourself in these times we're apart

Beneath the veneer, they get close to the nerve, mmm
And the layers of lies and the filth they deserve
Oh, yeah
Beneath the veneer they get under the skin, oh yeah
And the layers of lies and the bullshit that they keep within

Be like the river and stars up in space
We're touched by the beauty and we're touched by the grace
Be like the river and flow from the stream
And one day you'll be a part of the sea
Be like the river when these times are hard
And you gather yourself all these times we're apart
Be like the river and flow from the stream
And one day you'll be a part of me

Beneath the veneer, they get close to the nerve, oh yeah
And the layers of lies and the filth they deserve
Oh, yeah
Beneath the veneer they get under the skin, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the layers of lies and the bullshit that they keep within

Be like the river, yeah yeah yeah, go

Be like the river and cut through the stone
Fight like a lion defending its home
Be like the river and cut through the bone
Oh, never afraid that you're ever alone, and

Beneath the veneer, they get close to the nerve, oh yeah, oh yeah
And the layers of lies and the filth they deserve
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Beneath the veneer they get under the skin, oh yeah, yeah
And the layers of lies and the bullshit that they keep within

Be Like the River
