Same river twice [lyrics]

You can offer prayers,
get sage advice
but you can't be 
in the same river twice

The current's strong,
up to our knees
its flowing fast,
flowing free

try to breathe, 
keep your head above water
let it go, let it go,
don't even bother

Its sink or swim,
do or die,
you get swept away
in the blink of an eye
the pain, the hurt,

The joy you feel
the lives we share,
its so damn real

try to breathe, 
keep your head above water
let it go, let it go,
don't even bother

You can't be
in the same river twice
we get old too soon
and too late wise
so carry the weight
reap what's sown
but i'm here my friend
you are not alone

try to breathe, 
keep your head above water
let it go, let it go,
don't even bother

This is the last song lyrically written from my defunct book. The melody was influenced by something that I had noodled around with 25 years earlier, but found a home here with new lyrics.
