Verse 1
The morning sun was climbing slow
Over fields of silver dew
A dusty road, a worn-out coat
And dreams I never knew

The wind would sing through crooked trees
Like stories from the past
And every step along the way
Felt like it might be my last

Chorus
Oh, the river keeps on running
Through the valleys and the years
Carrying our laughter
Carrying our tears
And the pines keep softly calling
With a voice I can't deny
So I'll follow where they're leading
Beneath this endless sky

Verse 2
I met an old man by the bridge
With weather carved in stone
He said, "The world is wide, my son
But no one's truly alone"

He pointed to the distant hills
Where shadows touched the light
And told me every wandering heart
Is searching through the night

Chorus
Oh, the river keeps on running
Through the valleys and the years
Carrying our laughter
Carrying our tears
And the pines keep softly calling
With a voice I can't deny
So I'll follow where they're leading
Beneath this endless sky

Bridge
When the cold winds come around
And the stars refuse to shine
I'll remember every road
And every mountain I could climb

For the answers that we seek
May never fully show
But the journey writes the song
That only we can know

Final Chorus
Oh, the river keeps on running
Through the valleys and the years
Carrying our memories
Beyond our hopes and fears
And the pines keep softly calling
Like they did when I was young
So I'll sing along forever
Till my final song is sung
