Calum Bowie - We Are The River

Back when I was younger
All I really had to know
Was how late could I stay up
How far could I skip a stone
Life was easy
Oh-oh-oh, we had it easy

I remember lighting fires
Down by the River Dee
We were drinking cans of cider
Bought them with a fake ID
And life was easy
Oh-oh-oh, we had it easy

But I know those days are gone
The current pushes us along

'Cause we are the river
Always searching for the sea
We are the seasons
Changing colours on the breeze
We are the reason
And we're always gonna be
If we keep moving on
We are the river

I've been drivin' down the back roads
In the middle of the day
I take time out in the shallows
When I've got nothing to say
And I'll be wading out into the deeper water
When I know it's time to leave
Won't you come with me?

I know there's more to come
The current pushes us along

'Cause we are the river
Always searching for the sea
We are the seasons
Changing colours on the breeze
We are the reason
And we're always gonna be
If we keep moving on

We are the river
Always trying to find a place
To live forever
Before it carries us away
We are believers
And we're always gonna be
If we keep moving on

If all we have is time
I won't swim against the rising of the tide
'Cause the future's yours and mine
It's yours and mine

We are the river
Always searching for the sea
We are the seasons
Changing colours on the breeze
We are the reason
And we're always gonna be
If we keep moving on

We are the river
Always trying to find a place
To live forever
Before it carries us away
We are believers
And we're always gonna be
If we keep moving on
We are the river
