And you're going on a journey
(In your heart)
They're all floating in a tremendous river
Some of the people in the river are swimming against it

Others have learned that the art of it the thing is to swim with it
The people who are swimming against it think they are going in the opposite direction
But they are still being carried along
That you have to flow with the river and swim with it

There is no other way
But if on the other hand, you trust yourself with water and let go
You will float
And this is exactly the situation you face

And the river carries you along
And you are going on a journey
But a person who isn't making that pretense anymore
Knows that you have to go with the river and swim with it

Suddenly he acquires the power of the river
(The power of the river)
The person swimming with it
He goes along and he has the whole river behind him

And the river carries you along
But the man who puts up the sail is using magic
He lets nature do it for him
(The power of the river)
