Like a River
©Kelli Cates

My soul is like a river
Running deep in the wood
My eyes are more than windows
They tell things that I should
My words are sometimes weapons
That cast my world in pain
But my heart is like a song
That goes dancing in the rain

I could climb the highest mountain
In my dreams, in my mind
And drink from life's eternal fountain
Based from joy of every kind
But my soul is like a river that doesn't end
With always more love to lend

My emotions are like fire
With a flame that's dancing tall
And my past is full of lessons
That are built inside this wall
My lips are closed doors
That sometimes won't reveal
My mind is so inhibited
And waiting for what's real

I could fly above the heavens
With a pen in my hand
I could swim the deepest ocean
And at the bottom stand
But my soul is like a river that doesn't end
With always more love to lend

My lyrics are like a feast
Full of different kinds of food
And some may find them inspiring
While others find them rude

But my soul is like a river that doesn't end
With always more love to lend
