I laid down by the riverâs edge
I laid down wondering where it led
I laid down by the riverâs edge
And I woke up in a river bed
There were flowers in my hair
River flowers floating everywhere
And all the fishes came and kissed my feet
Dear old fishes, they said to me
They said oh, we could love you
But we are not yet what you want
Because oh, anyone could love you
Youâve got to find where you belong
All my needles, they were gone so fast
Not a needle left on a branch
I grew weaker
And the river strong
I said, hey fishes
But the fish were gone
Now the boulders
I know they heard me cry
But they were stone-faced
And they stood aside
So I went on at the riverâs pace
With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say
They said oh, we could love you
But we are not yet what you want
Because oh, we would only crush you
Youâve got to find where you belong
How does it feel
To be so certain
Without question
Of your purpose
Your position
Of your place
Of your home?
Of your place
Of your home
You cannot catch the river though
It makes you think you can
It trickles through your fingers
While you hold it in your hands
Just like I am
Just like I am
Just like I am
Just like I am
