Susan Ashton - Lonely River lyrics

Lonely river, you meander like a road

Stretching out into the great unknown

With solitary movement, you're compelled and you're enthralled

As though you're answering a distant call

Lonely river is there a place you're running to

Or is it something that you're running from?

Is it hope that keeps you going?

Is it faith that makes you strong?

Lonely river, lonely river, running on

Lonely river in the stillness of the night

Your restless nature keeps you raging on

Oh, changing courses, shallow waters, tangent streams

Lonely river, do you wonder what it means?

Lonely river, I think I am a lot like you

Winding on in hopes to find the sea

And flooded by uncertainties, the current can be strong

But drifting towards our destinies, the arm of God is long

And I believe that through this journey 'til we're finally home

Lonely river, we will never, run alone
