Verse

There's a river of love that runs through all times 
There's a river of grief that floods through our lives 
It starts when a heart gets broken in two
By the thief of belief in anything that's true
But there's a river of love that runs through all times 

Verse

There's a river of love that runs through all times 
But there's a river of tears that flows through our eyes 
We fight through the night for freedom as it fades
Into a jail where we fail every time we make a break
But there's a river of love that runs through all times

Middle 8

I had to run before I knew how to crawl
The first step was hard, but I've had trouble with them all
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim
And I know I never will see you again
And I almost made you happy

Verse

There's a river of love that runs through all times 
There's a river of fire that burns with no light 
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke
From the lies we deny and we breathe until we choke
But there's a river of love that runs through all times
