I watch it all go bye 
Life is full of trails and ills
But lets all take a moment
And try to stay still
Feel warm in yourself
For its who you are 
don’t let anyone tell you 
Or you’ll never get far
Be yourself
I sit on a raft in my minds eye 
On a river tears 
That thousands have cried
But the motion is gentle
And not filled with fear
I sit here and watch my life 
go passing year by year
And the banks 
they maybe far
you could swim 
But that’s not who you are
As I go further down the river
I must leave you behind
I’m not trying to be unkind
I want to swim to shore 
But I’d be wrong 
The shore is safe 
But the river is where I belong
So I have to go the journey is long
I don’t know where I’m going 
I don’t know where I came from
All I know is my journey will last 
Till I’m gone
