When the river flows
It never tries
To live a day
When it might run dry
It flows where it's going to
It just run, run, runs
And its longing for an ocean
When the river dries
It never knows
It has ceased to be a river
That must watch the desert grow
Can't flow the way its gonna do
That still run, run, runs
And its longing for an ocean,
That still run, run, runs
And its longing for an ocean
Gotta clear our heads
Gotta get things right
Mustn't be misled
By the fading light
Gotta flow the way we're going to do
We must run, run, run
In our longing for an ocean,
We must run, run, run
In our longing for an ocean
