I was lookin' back on faded dreams from yesturday    Like a brush from my past they painted the evening sky    But the currents so strong, I couldn't hold on    They kept rollin' by    And all the colors bled into a river of time       The innocent child fades into the mist on the river of time    An angry young man is shaking his fist on the river of time    Roll on river of time, rage on river of time       There are faces and places I hold sacred    Some I've passed along the way    Some live on in memory, some I've passed along the way    With the rain from a storm, a river is born    Winding down to the sea, and the river of time    Keeps on rollin' thru eternity       The angry young man learns how to forgive    On the river of time    He holds an innocent child in his arms    On the river of time    Roll on river of time    Rage on river of time
