You can tell the river that the water is gonna leave it
But the river knows the water just continues on downstream
P-p-p-pushed by all the other water fillin' up the riverbed
That shines under the current when the clouds are not currently overhead
:You can't worry the river:
You can see the river smile even when drought is starving it
The river has been around and knows eventually the clouds will get
Too heavy full of rain and when their cloud fabric can't hold the store of water
Then the seams will break and flood the riverbed below, my friend
:You can't worry the river:
You can tell the source that all its water is gonna course into the river,
Round the bend and down the mountain where it ends up in the ocean
Vast churning blue black and white, keeping secrets locked up tight inside its insides,
Ya the deeper down the less light the more likely you are to find your true self
Silly child you can't worry the source
It's the river's mother and she'd give her life to let her daughter run her course
Even if the hands of man make the river stop by way of building up a water dam
It'll only take time for the river to erode the stone and reclaim all it once called home
To break, so to speak, the break that stopped the free circulation of the river from the source to the ocean,
From the mother to the daugther out into the deep wide, the deep wide open
You can't worry the river
You can't worry the source
You can't stop the river, no
From flowing its course, from flowing its course
You can tell the source that all its water is gonna course into the river,
Round the bend and down the mountain where it ends up in the ocean
Vast churning blue black and white, keeping secrets locked up tight inside its insides,
Ya the deeper down the less light the more likely you are to find your true self
Silly child you can't worry the source
It's the river's mother and she'd give her life to let her daughter run her course
You can't worry the river
You can't worry the source
You can't stop the river, no
From flowing its course, from flowing its course.........
