I am the river

I run all day and all night

I am the river

I am sweet cool and refreshing

I am the river

I give of myself freely

I am the river

I am calm and together

I am the river

I am one with myself

I am the river

I come from everywhere

And that is where I go

I am the river

I am both loved and hated

I am the river

I am mistreated

I am the river

I am taken care of

I am the river

I feel nothing

I am the river

I run all day and all night

I am the river

I am the river

For I am by myself
