Lyrics

All I know 
I've said to you. 
And what I really want 
may not come true. 

But if you call my name, 
I may walk away faster. 
And once beyond the trees, 
I'll be gone ever after. 

Through strong winds 
and the pouring rain, 
I've leaned hard forward again and again. 

But in the open 
I've slowed my pace 
with upturned palms 
and amazing grace. 

You've got to roll on 
like a river. 
You can make it somehow. 
You've got to roll on 
like a river. 
You can make it right now. 

Every time 
I look at you, 
I can see the things 
I want to do. 

But if you turn away, 
you'll be courting disaster. 
And no amount of mud 
will hide the cracks in our plaster. 

Cloudless sunrise expands my view. 
I stare at problems 
with eyes cast anew. 

The curtain falls 
anytime or place. 
So look up now 
with amazing grace. 

You've got to roll on 
like a river. 
You can make it somehow. 
You've got to roll on 
like a river. 
You can make it right now. 

Even now 
I cannot hear 
all the simple sounds 
I should hold dear. 

But when I close my eyes, 
I can't hear any better. 
Life's a picture book: 
Sight and sounds go together. 

All the trouble 
 I've put you through; 
the extra work's been a lot to do. 

The table's set 
with fine spoons and lace. 
Let's bow our heads 
with amazing grace. 

You've got to roll on 
like a river. 
You can make it somehow. 
You've got to roll on 
like a river. 
You can make it right now
