Beating Like a Drum

As the river is sustained
All that’s constant is the change
Life continues in the throes of the undertow
I can’t always reach the light
The current has me paralyzed
I listen for the pulse and I go on because
My heart keeps beating like a drum
To the rhythm of life
To the open horizon
Waves keep rolling like
Untold stories still to come
I can’t change what might have been
All I know is that I’ve seen
Life move like a dance, without coincidence
My heart keeps beating like a drum
To the rhythm of life
To the open horizon
Waves keep rolling like
Untold stories
I surrender to the rising sun
To the river of life that
Flows to the ocean
Waves keep rolling like
Untold stories still to come
Where the river takes me
There’s no telling where it flows
If I let it break me, I don’t know
Where the river takes me
There’s so many ways to go
Where the river takes me
There’s no telling where it flows
Maybe it’ll save me, all I know
My heart keeps beating like a drum
