We have all we need around us But I just need to know What really matters To knew my soul at all I've followed the crooked lines I didn't choose my fate But sometimes I have a sixth sense An atlas in my head There are easier ways To take out the pain off your chest Strain your eyes and just see Try to do your best The river that surrounds us Takes us to the same place But i'm in a hurry, I can't be late Across the river's edge Scents of evergreen Hear the howling wind I'm drawning my own strange path Watching where I step along the way I am a rock, I am an island Like old simon used to say I had a premonition When the day turns into night Takes time to open your mind I'm waiting for the right time The river that surround us Takes us to the same place But I'm in a hurry, I can't be late Across the river's edge Scents of evergreen Follow the howling wind When we find a new land In a winter's day In a deep and dark december Like old simon used to say Don't lose yourself on the way At the age of the unknown Just follow the lucky old sun
