[Verse 1]

There is a river that flows
Through the soul of a man
I don't know where it goes
Or even where it began
But there's a river
There is a river

There is an island of blues
Out on an ocean of black
You can ride with the tide
But you're bound to come back
To the river
There is a river

[Chorus]

And it's cool as the winter is long
Clear as the feeling is strong
You can dive to the bottom
And always come up with a song

[Bridge / Instrumental]

Ooh
There is a river
Ooh
There is a river

[Chorus]

And it's cool as the winter is long
Clear as the feeling is strong
You can dive to the bottom
And always come up with a song

[Verse 2]

There is a river that flows
Through the soul of a man
I don't know where it is goes
Or even where it began
But there's a river
There is a river

There is a river
There is a river

There is a river...
