Story Behind The Song

A reflection on life, existence, how we got where we are, I found an analogy contemplating a river while on a trip...

Lyrics

River runs through Yves Stilmant ©2024
(Verse 1)
Life's like a river, wild and untamed,
Rushing through the valleys, leaving hearts inflamed.
Sometimes it's gentle, a soft, soothing flow,
Other times it rages, with nowhere to go.
Sometimes we may stumble, and lose our way,
But the river keeps flowing, night and day.
And when the stars collide, and it feels hard to hide.
Through the echoes of our youth, the river runs through,

(Chorus)
Oh, the twists and turns, like the river runs through,
Every trial, and every breakthrough.
We'll ride the currents, wherever they may lead,
In the ebb and the flow, we'll find what we need.


(Verse 2)
With every bend, a new challenge awaits,
Testing our strength, deciding our fates.
In the depths of despair, we'll find our might,
Navigating rapids, into the light.
In the dance of time, we'll find our way,
As the river runs through, day by day.
And in the silence of the night
When the stars collide
Through the echoes of our truth
The river runs through

(Chorus)
Oh, the twists and turns, like the river runs through,
Every trial, and every breakthrough.
We'll ride the currents, wherever they may lead,
In the ebb and the flow, we'll find what we need.


(Bridge)
(Saxophone lead)

(Chorus)
Oh, the twists and the turns, like the river runs through,
Every trial, and every breakthrough.
We'll ride the currents, wherever they may lead,
In the ebb and the flow, we'll find what we need.
Oh, the twists and the turns, like the river runs through,
Every trial, and every breakthrough.
We'll ride the currents, wherever they may lead,
In the ebb and the flow, we'll find what we need.
