lyrics
Just as all rivers will flow to the sea,
So forgiveness must come easily
Though your hands are tied today,
You'll be hand in hand tomorrow
That's got to come easily,
In simpler times it seems you're like the river,
Well that must flow easily
Won't it feel the way it feels to a stranger by the water
You forgive her anything, You can give her everything
The sea refuses no river,
they all flow easily, they flow because they're free
The sea to the river like a stranger must seem
If you really can’t forgive her
then it won't come easily,
you know it don't come easily
Just as all rivers will flow to the sea,
so forgiveness must come easily
Though you wash your hands today,
you'll praying for tomorrow
That won't come easily,
you know it won't come easily
The sea seems like a stranger to me,
no river sets me free,
that don't feel good to me
So forgiveness must come easily
Though your hands are tied today,
You'll be hand in hand tomorrow
That's got to come easily,
In simpler times it seems you're like the river,
Well that must flow easily
Won't it feel the way it feels to a stranger by the water
You forgive her anything, You can give her everything
The sea refuses no river,
they all flow easily, they flow because they're free
The sea to the river like a stranger must seem
If you really can’t forgive her
then it won't come easily,
you know it don't come easily
Just as all rivers will flow to the sea,
so forgiveness must come easily
Though you wash your hands today,
you'll praying for tomorrow
That won't come easily,
you know it won't come easily
The sea seems like a stranger to me,
no river sets me free,
that don't feel good to me
