Bilingual
Isn't she a river?
She doesn't need a diamond to shine
You can't really have her
But you can hold her for a time
ย
Takes an army just to bend her
Be careful where you send her
You can't hold her back for long
A river is just too strong
And she's a river
ย
Arms made out of silver
Moving in a crooked line
Carrying some dreamers
Off into the end of time
ย
You don't need to save her
Or teach her to behave
Just let her arms unwind
Ever changing and undefined
She's a river
You can ride her easy when she's slow
Walk across her when she's low
Follow wherever she goes
She's a river
Run for cover when she's mad
Drown in her tears when things are bad
Don't you ever forget it that
She's a river
ย
Isn't she a river?
ย
She doesn't need a diamond to shine
So people call you clever
But she's been here a long, long time
ย
And she's seen so many faces
And places down the line
She's been left for dead a million times
Keeps coming home
Arms open wide
Ever changing and undefined
ย
She's a river
ย
She's a river
ย
She's a river
