Intro:
I've been told rivers running
wild - never captured other
than by the eye
look as far as you can
and you will see the
faces of the past
then look ahead for the
sun is coming back


Bold was the wind
dancing over the landscape
long was the days
when you were gone
I held a photo of you
in my mind and in my
heart I held your hand
You'll always be the
man who put a smile
on peoples face
such grace - like
the lily of the Nile


For days I walked
around - around in
the town where we used
to live - the buildings so
tall - so overwhelming
and then I remembered
the love we had
and everything fell into
its place - though the
traces was gone
I knew in my heart
you were there with me

chorus:
So remember to
love wholeheartedly
and be true - be courageous
be you - be like the river
running wild
(- running wild)


We lived and we spent
our days together
as kindred spirits
best friends and lovers
and then you were gone
and I knew there would
be no more days like this
colorful tears touching
the ground - rivers runs
wild through my veins


Nothing comes close
to what we had
once you were there
now you're gone
cloudy nights
and frosty fingers
touching your face
like it was still here

chorus
:So remember to
love wholeheartedly
and be true - be courageous
be you - be like the river
running wild
(- running wild)


Throughout this lifetime
you will forever be in my heart
Memories kept alive under
the light - dissolve into tears
blurring all things up - yet
my sight's never been so clear


I've been told rivers running
wild - never captured other
than by the eye
look as far as you can
and you will see the
faces of the past


extro:

look ahead for the
sun is coming back
love wholeheartedly
be courageous


be like the river

- running wild
