Michael Tomlinson - Run Like The River Runs lyrics

Did you hear me from where you drifted on the wind?

This autumn wind on a summer day

Sure can turn a blue sky grey

Oh it's a lonely day and cold

There are secrets you've not told

And there are parts of me that I have never known

And I wonder if you see through the walls inside of me

Feathered friend I wish that you could say

Why you sit on that wooden post and watch me play

The sky is yours and the ground is mine

Do you want to trade some time?

And let me soar above these trees

See the earth through golden leaves

Breathe the air and watch the rivers from above

There are many things to love

But it's these that call it to me

If I run like the river runs

If I fall like water falls

Oh if I breathe like the wind

Will I ever learn it all?

If I change like autumn leaves

If I grow like summer weeds

If I'm quiet as snow

Will I ever know it all, learn it all?

I don't really know from day to day

If I'm willing to walk this road or turn away

But something here in the silver sky

Is exactly what I need

To begin the song again

Help me sing my winged friend

With the melody you rise and float away

Then I'll leave the way I came

But I'll never be the same

repeat chorus
