Just Around The Riverbend (from Pocahontas) sing and play along

What I love most about rivers is:

you can't step in the same river twice.

The water's always changing, always flowing.

But people, I guess, can't live like that;

we all must pay a price:

To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing

what's around the riverbend,

waiting just around the riverbend.

I look once more just around the riverbend beyond the shore,

where the gulls fly free.

Don't know what for, what I dream the day might send just around the riverbend

for me, coming for me.

I feel it there beyond those trees or right behind these waterfalls.

Can I ignore the sound of distant drumming for a handsome sturdy husband who builds handsome sturdy walls and never dreams that something might be coming just around the riverbend?

Just around the riverbend.

I look once more just around the riverbend beyond the shore,

somewhere past the sea.

Don't know what for...

why do all my dreams extend just around the riverbend?

Just around the riverbend.

Should I choose the smoothest course steady as the beating drum?

Should I marry Kocoum?

Is all my dreaming at an end?

Or do you still wait for me,

Dream Giver just around the riverbend?
