River

Marshall Veal
University of British Columbia

Biography	Interview

Running deep to a distant shore
following some high command
Carrying your share and more
ancient arm of the hinterland
 
Winding with the march of time
carving out a destiny
In your wandering you will find
what you're searching for
 
Oh river of my mind
understand these troubled times we live in
Oh river of my life
take this soul into the light
 
Like this river I need to be
free to move until I see
Ocean sky and shining sand
the inner gift of a guiding hand
 
And there's a river inside of me
carving out my destiny
Take this muddy water to the sea
and leave me in harmony
 
Oh river of my mind
understand these troubled times we live in
Oh river of my life
take this soul into the light
 
Oh river of my mind
understand my life's design
Oh river of my life
take this soul into the light
