VERSE 1

Life is a teacher.
Time is a healer.
And I’m a believer, like a river wild.
Ego’s a killer.
Greed is a monster!
But love is stronger, stronger than them all.

B-SECTION
White flag in hand
I don’t wanna’ fight
No lines in the sand, I’m on your side.
Invisible, no color lines.
It’s time we put our (put our, put our)
Differences aside.

CHORUS
Time tells no lies
It keeps changing and ticking and moving then passes by.
But if you’re lucky
It will be kind
Like a river
Flowing through time!

Post hook
Like a river
Let it wash u clean!
Mighty river
Going up stream
Like a river
Cutting through rock…
Mighty river
Cause it never gives up.
Like a river
So full of life.
Mighty river
Liquid like time.
Like a river
Let it wash away.
Mighty river
The pain from yesterday.

Verse 2
Love is the answer.
Hate is a cancer.
Oh, but forgiveness.
It waters the soul.
Our blood is red, we’re not so different, cause underneath our skin, we’re indentical.
White flag in hand
I don’t wanna’ fight
No lines in the sand, I’m on your side.
Invisible, no color lines.
It’s time we put our (put our, put our)
Differences aside.
We know wrong from right.
