Up ahead the river roared
As I struggled to hold the oars
They say the storm was soon approaching
And calm waters were what my heart was hoping
The water had seemed to get rougher
As the strength in my arms got tougher
But the boat did all it could do to keep at bay
And in my mind, I started to pray
But as the river circled around the bend
It seemed as if the rushing waves had come to an end
A beautiful sunlight reflected on the water
And that’s when the need for the oars was no longer
I finally made it to the shore and sighed
As the gushing river seemed to pass me by
There was nothing around me only the bare ground
And the cheers of those I loved, came around
I had finally done what I thought I couldn’t do
And that was sailing a river and surviving it too
But before my eyes the river didn’t frighten me anymore
Instead it flowed wonderfully into the satisfaction of my heart
