When I’m standing, staring at the light of the day When I wake to find that my mind is in my way Well there are times I’ve survived it And kept my own way
If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that water in our way Then we will see the blue skies of a brighter day
I tell you father, now it’s time to go away I hope to find a way to honor you some day I’ll be an actor, a poet, a gambler and a grey So you can revel in the blue skies of my life
If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that water in our way Then we will see the blue skies of a brighter day
In this hour Siddhartha stopped fighting his fate He stopped suffering On his face flourished the cheerfulness of a knowledge No longer opposed by any will, Which knows perfection, is in agreement With the flow of the current of life Devoted to the flow, belonging to the oneness And we too can see that sight
If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that water in our way Then we will see the blue skies
If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that river (that river) If we can see beyond that water in our way Then we will see the blue skies of a brighter day
