Lyrics
Would you take a journey inward Surrender do you think you could To something greater than yourself To gain Spiritual wealth
Would you be happy with your inside Give up that stupid pride Be more connected with yourself And bettering your health
Are you flowing with the river Do you know where it will lead you Are you in sync with yourself Are you grounded and stabilised
Down the river of change New ways to behave Lying deep in your heart Old life do you part Take the rough with the smooth Yourself to be true Eloping on a journey hey hey
Would you forget about your ego Give up do you think you could Some of the pleasures in your life Do you think that would suffice
Are you flowing with the river Do you know where it will lead you Are you in sync with yourself And are you grounded and stabilised
Down the river of change New ways to behave Lying deep in your heart Old life do you part Take the rough with the smooth Yourself to be true Eloping on a journey hey
Being true Being true to you Being true, …. to you Being true Being true to you Being true... to you
Down the river of change New ways to behave Lying deep in your heart Old life do you part Take the rough with the smooth Yourself to be true Eloping on a journey hey
Being true Being true to you Being true, to you Being true Being true to you Being true... to you
