When I was young
I saw the sun
I had to feel the heat
Sunburnt, with blistering shoulders
I felt no shame in my retreat
A wiser man
Did extend his hand
Said, "I can help you see
It doesn't take all this running
And sunburns just to feel free"
"Just slow your roll
Allow to grow
All the abundant trees
Put your nose to the grindstone
And from your elbow obtain the grease"
"It's not a race
Just keep your pace
You've got to keep your head
If you run like a river
You're face-down in a riverbed"
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Just slow your roll
Allow to grow
All these abundant trees
Keep your nose to the grindstone
And from your elbow obtain the grease
It's not a race
Just keep your pace
You've got to keep your head
If you run like a river
You're face-down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo

Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo
Riverbed
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo
