The River Doesn’t Care- JG Stott
What was here a thousand years ago?
There’s no human way to know.
The river knows, she breathes the air.
The river knows, but the river don’t care.
Water flows, just like wine.
Some of it’s yours and some of it’s mine.
You can stay behind or you can take a dare.
Either way the river, it don’t care.
The river’s gotta go where the river’s gotta go,
Starting way up high, ending way down low.
What it’s gonna do next, I don’t know,
And the river, it don’t care.
You can build your house, build your town,
stand around thinking you’re on solid ground.
Talk real tough, or sit and stare.
What ever you do, the river don’t care.
When the flood comes, as it always will,
dirty water lapping at your window sill,
Stay real still, or send up flares.
Cry if you want to, the river it don’t care.
The river’s been rolling for a thousand years,
Filled with snow and rain and tears.
Fill you with love, fill you with fear,
But the river, it don’t care.
The river’ll be rolling a 1000 years from now,
We might be too though I don’t know how.
But if we’re not, it’s only fair.
The river’s gonna be here, but it won’t care.
The river’s been rolling for a thousand years,
Filled with snow and rain and tears.
Fill you with love, fill you with fear,
But the river, it don’t care.
