lyrics

I asked the river what it thought
It whispered of the stars above
I asked the spirits and the gods
They answered me, but not with words

I asked the mother, and the crone
I asked an old man by the road
And they told me what they had been told
Don’t regret; just wonder
Don’t forget to remember
Keep yourself open to the light

There is…
There is this
There is no up, there is no down
There is no in, there is no out
There is nowhere to go, because
There is nowhere but here and now

And every way that you look, there is light
Every way that you turn, there is darkness
And there is light
So keep yourself open to the light
Keep yourself open to the light
Let the light in

I listened to the wind
I listened to the rain
I listened to the voice within
And always the same refrain

Keep yourself open to the light
Let the light in

Riverside
We are riverside
We’re all riverside
Riverside
