ADA
I laid down by the river?s edge
ADA
I laid down wondering where it led
ADA
I laid down by the river?s edge
F#mDA
And I woke up in a river bed
ADA
There were flowers in my hair
ADA
River flowers floating everywhere
ADA
And all the fishes came and kissed my feet
F#mDA
Dear old fishes, they said to me
C#mF#m
They said oh, we could love you
DA
But we are not yet what you want
C#mF#m
Because oh, anyone could love you
DA
You?ve got to find where you belong
ADA
All my needles, they were gone so fast
ADA
Not a needle left on a branch
ADA
I grew weaker and the river strong
F#mDA
I said, hey fishes But the fish were gone
ADA
Now the boulders I know they heard me cry
ADA
But they were stone-faced and they stood aside
ADA
So I went on at the river?s pace
F#mDA
With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say
C#mF#m
They said oh, we could love you
DA
But we are not yet what you want
C#mF#m
Because oh, we would only crush you
DA
You?ve got to find where you belong
C#mD
How does it feel
F#m
To be so certain
D
Without question
A
Of your purpose
F#m
Your position
D
Of your place
A
Of your home?
D
Of your place
E
Of your home
C#mC#m
You cannot catch the river though
DA
It makes you think you can
C#mC#m
It trickles through your fingers
DA
While you hold it in your hands
D
Just like I am
A
Just like I am
D
Just like I am
A
Just like I am
