[Verse 1]
Sailors on the sea
Are we heading clear for the edge of the ocean?
There's no city that keeps you king for a gypsy
And are we guided by some vision?
All our moves adding up to an ancient arc
We are free of the canyon cliff of my heart

[Chorus]
The river flows
It takes a hold and it's running through
And we ain't changing on our own
Oh, we change for you
The river flows, it always flows

[Verse 2]
And he walks home in another city
Your mind's stuck in an ancient war
And all you need is the space for the beauty to take you
And she will take you

[Chorus]
The river flows
It takes a hold and it's running through
And we ain't changing on our own
Oh, we change for you
The river flows, it always flows
[Bridge]
Flows through you, flows through you

[Chorus]
The river flows
It takes a hold and it's running through
And we ain't changing on our own
Oh, we change for you
The river flows, it always flows

[Outro]
And we're just sailors on the sea
Yeah, we're just sailors on the sea
Yeah, we're just sailors on the sea
