Young Canadian Coco Love Alcorn, songwriter and musician, wrote The River. In the youtube, she’s the one with short black hair, front, left.
(Sandra speaking) I like the video! The lyrics are below. From “The River” I went to Coco’s song “Revolution“. Crazy how I came across Coco at a time when I was posting “Hear the People Sing“, a now international song of protest from “Les Miserables”.
Lyrics
The river is a healer
The river is a sage
The river knows no end
And the river feels no age
The river is a leader
Every single day
It’s living in the moment
And it always finds a way
Water heal my body
Water heal my soul
When I go down, down
To the water
By the water I feel whole
The river calls me over
It’s calling out my name
In the day and in the night
I hear that river all the same
It’s calling me over
Calling out my pain
Oh a river gathers tears
Just like a river gathers rain
Ch
The river is a traveller
Always on the go
A river never worries
If it’s fast or if it’s slow
River take me
To where I need to go
Oh, and I will just relax
And let the river flow
CH
