To the Beat of its Own Song

Learn to live from the river

The mighty river following along

The river that passes through the mountains

To the beat of its own song

Born of the rocky mountains

It becomes sturdy and strong

As it makes its way into the valley

To the beat of its own song

It leaves the mountain independent

Knowing the difference between right and wrong

Pouring into vast pains

To the beat of its own song

It never looks back 

Of the past it would neither think nor long

It just keeps straining to its goal

To the beat of its own song

It carves its own path

Without so much of a knock or ding-dong

Flowing through the busy cities

To the beat of its own song

It never gives up, never stops

Even when things are murky it doesn't bang a gong

It simply slithers into the sea

To beat of its own song

Learn to live from the river

The mighty river flowing along

The river that rushes without any rest

To the beat of its own song.
