[instrumental opening] [Verse] From mountain's cradle To earth's expanse wide You flow with grace There's nowhere to hide Each glimmer reflects the sky's gentle hue A timeless trek Always bold Always true [Verse 2] Through valleys lush and plains so vast Your sparkling trails speak of the past You drink in the rainfall A quiet gift Carving paths with patience No need to drift [Chorus, choir] Oh winding river You dance You scheme Feeding life's veins Fulfilling the dream To salty oceans You’ll always return Still onward you travel With tides that yearn [Verse 3] Restless companion You sing as you go To creatures unseen Your love you bestow Every drop whispers a story untold A liquid lifeline Both silken and bold [instrumental intermezzo] [Bridge] Your rhythm is steady Your purpose is clear No greed in your heart No whispers of fear A ceaseless companion for the earth and sea Forever in motion Forever carefree [Chorus, choir] Oh winding river You dance You scheme Feeding life's veins Fulfilling the dream To salty oceans You’ll always return still onward you travel with tides that yearn. [outro, female voice] If ever I think I have to say much if ever I feel I have to suffer more if ever I think I should rest in peace I just dive into your waterfalls
