Lonely River

Lonely river, you meander like a road
Stretching out into the great unknown
With solitary movement, you're compelled and you're enthralled
As though you're answering a distant call

Lonely river is there a place you're running to
Or is it something that you're running from?
Is it hope that keeps you going?
Is it faith that makes you strong?
Lonely river, lonely river, running on

Lonely river in the stillness of the night
Your restless nature keeps you raging on
Oh, changing courses, shallow waters, tangent streams
Lonely river, do you wonder what it means?

Lonely river, I think I am a lot like you
Winding on in hopes to find the sea
And flooded by uncertainties, the current can be strong
But drifting towards our destinies, the arm of God is long
And I believe that through this journey 'til we're finally home
Lonely river, we will never, run alone
