This eternal river that flows from my heart
Carries the love from within me flooding
The valleys that were once parched and dry
Nourishing the land which now is budding
With a million red roses that will never fade
But continue to grow into full bloom
Filling my world with perfumed air
While chasing away all traces of gloom

For you are the river and you are the rose
And you are the blood that gently flows
You are my hope and you are the flowers
You are my refuge in these lonely hours
The fragrance, the beauty, the tender care
You are, you are, you are the wind in my hair
Beyond this life, beyond all I can see
You are the river flowing forever in me
