They Say For Everyone There's That Certain Someone
Out There, Somewhere
I'd Been Looking Hard, Getting Nowhere
Didn't Know I Was Making My Way To You

Now I Know How The River Feels When It Reaches The Sea
And Finally Finds A Place It Was Always Meant To Be
Holding Fast, Home At Last, Knowing The Journey's Through
Lying Here With You, I Know How The River Feels
Miles Of Lonliness Now Make Perfect Sense Here Beside You
Tears Like Water Falls, They Were Worth Them All Just To Find You
And These Are The Last Arms I'll Run To

Now I Know How The River Feels When It Reaches The Sea
And Finally Finds A Place It Was Always Meant To Be
Holding Fast, Home At Last, Knowing The Journey's Through
Lying Here With You, I Know How The River Feels
