As I went out walking, on a fine summer day
Through hills and the valleys
I soon lost my way
Till I came to an old man, kneeling down by a stream
Gazing in to the water, like he was lost in a dream
In his hand was a picture, he clung to for life
And his eyes filled with tears, as he tried not to cry
As he looked to the heavens, he started to pray
In the quiet country side, I could hear the man say
Life is a river, I'll go with the flow
And where it will take me, the Lord only knows
but I miss you sweetheart, your kindness and love
But i Know one day, we'll sail away on God's ocean above
He said now young man, you're a stranger to me
