I saw the river today and it made me feel okay,
But I never ever had a lot to say,
Reading a book take a look at a boat go by,
oh, oh, oh, oh I sigh -

I've been throwing a coin into the river
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind

I saw the river today and it made me feel free,
Oh tell me what is happening to me,
I catch my reflection and suddenly see,
The woman the girl couldn't be

So I'm throwing my youth into the river,
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind

[Chorus Chant:]
Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
Come the summertime all the churches chime
For thye river of time

I saw the river today and I started to cry,
Cause the promise it made was a lie,
Stumbling brook you're a crook, take a look and see
See what you've done to me

So I'm throwing my heart into the river,
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind

Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
Come the summertime all the churches chime
For thye river of time

So I'll keep throwing a coin into the river,
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind

See as your life changes as you're pulled along by time...

[Hansi Kursch:] Is it too late to prevent their fall?
[Bob Catley:] Are they ready for the key to it all?
[Hansi Kursch:] The mystery solved, the answer to life
[Bob Catley:] The final solution, a chance to survive

[Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch:]
We can save this ill-fated race
Who are lost in the ocean of space
Show them the way to reverse their decline
Guide them back on a river of time

[Hansi Kursch:] Follow the wave, speed up the flight
[Bob Catley:] Slow down time, faster than light
[Hansi Kursch:] You might let the forces take a giant leap
[Bob Catley:] Bent the stream dive into the deep

[Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch:]
We can save this ill-fated race
Who are lost in the ocean of space
Show them the way to reverse their decline
Guide them back on a river of time

[Hansi Kursch:] Send back visions of war and decay.
[Bob Catley:] Paradigms of fear in a world of dismay.
[Hansi Kursch:] Shape the present, alter the past.
[Bob Catley:] Create a new future, one that would last

[Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch:]
We can save this ill-fated race
Who are lost in the ocean of space
Show them the way to reverse their decline
Guide them back on a river of time
