By The River

We all walk on down the road that leads to understanding so many things.
Strode a long, cold, lonely journey to a colored land where dreams never lie.
We've all been stranded by the river,
while searching for the answer.
Restless by river,
of hope.

We all wait for that someday, the chance or a break that'll make it alright.
Most of us expect it, but for some, those days never really come around.
It's the same old story, by the river,
begging for the answer.
Wading by the river,
of hope.

We all climb different slopes as our spirit tries to cope through the tide.
Armed with only mighty faith in a struggle with fate that lasts a lifetime.
We keep on flowing like the river,
wondering,"Is there any answer?".
Pessimistic, lonely drifters,
optimistic for an answer.
Drinking from the river,
till we drown.
