The River Is Wild

Essay text:

On the beautiful ground I heard a story from the man in red He said the leaves are falling down Such a beautiful sound Son, I think you better go ahead But you always hold your head up high Cause it's a long, long, long way down This town was meant for passing through But it ain't nothing new Now go and show them That the world stayed round But it's a long, long, long way down You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world And watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I just get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else I've been trying hard to do what's right But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky This river is wild This river is wild Run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Watch it turn But shake a little Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk I shake a little Sometimes i hate the line I walk I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I just get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else Ive been trying hard to do whats right But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall From the sky Because this river is wild God speed you boy This river is wild Now Adam's taking bombs And he's stuck on his mom Because that bitch Keeps trying to make him pray He's with the hippie in the park Coming over the dark Just trying to get some of that little girl play You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world But watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else I've been trying hard to do whats right But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky And pay this hell in me tonight Because this river is wild God speed you boy This river is wild God speed you boy This river is wild Now the cards are everywhere face in dust The fairground I don't think I ever seen so many headlights But there's something pulling me The circus and the crew Well they're just passing through Making sure the merry still goes round But it's a long, long, long way down
