Song

By the River

Bob Seger

It’s a Mystery, 1995, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I was walkin'
By the river
I held my hand out
To feel the rain
Just a light rain
Almost a sun shower
Makin' all things
Shine again
And I felt like I belonged
I felt so strong
As I walked on
There was rhythm
And there was order
There was a balance
There was a flow
There was patience
Indulgence
There was a power
I could not know
And I felt it all made sense
The innocence
The permanence
I took my young son
To the river
I held his hand out
To feel the rain
