UNTIL THE RIVER RUNS IN
(Lyrics and music by Jessica Stone)
You can take him to the river
But you can't make him drink.
You can take him to the questions
But you can't make him think.
You can take her to your bed
But you won't make her sing,
Until you open up wide
And start listening.
Until you open up your mind,
And let the river rush in.
You can make and you can take it
But you can't give it away
And you can show up,
But 'til you grow up,
You'll never bend her your way.
And you can love him and leave him,
But you won't have your day,
Until you push aside your pride
And let your soul out to play.
Until you open up your mind,
And let the river give way.
It's a hard road, and it will not go
Where you always think it should.
But there is someone 'round every corner
In every neighborhood.
And there are questions and answers
Between everyone's lines.
But you will miss them,
And you can kiss them goodbye
If you don't take your time.
So you can take me to the river,
But you can't hear me sing
Until you open up wide
And start listening.
And you can take me to the questions
But the answers won't ring
Deep inside your mind until the river runs in.
