Bob Seger - By the River lyrics

I was walkin' by the river
I held my hand out to feel the rain
Just a light rain almost a sun shower
Makin' all things shine again

And I felt like I belonged i felt so strong
As I walked on

There was rhythm and there was order
There was a balance there was a flow
There was patience indulgence
There was a power i could not know

And I felt it all made sense the innocence
The permanence

I took my young son to the river
I held his hand out to feel the rain
