Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead   How long till my hunger is fed   They say it's hard to make it in this part of town   So many people on this merry-go-round      Some folks try astrology   Some turn to crystal balls   To find an answer,    To get through it all   I just fall on my knees and I try to pray   In the silence I can hear Him say      The river runs and the river hides   Out to the ocean and under the sky   I promise you, the answer will come   Hold on to patience and watch for the sign   Everything in its time      I often feel like I'm two steps behind   Somebody must have moved that finish line   There are a thousand reasons   Why I should give up   But I'm stubborn in the things I believe      The river runs and the river hides   Out to the ocean and under the sky   I promise you, the answer will come   Hold on to patience and watch for the sign      'cause maybe there's another plan   One I still can't see   A little surprise, like your love in my life   Funny how time changes how we see      The river runs and the river hides   Out to the ocean and under the sky   I promise you, the answer will come   Hold on to patience and watch for the sign   Everything in its time   Everything in its time
