The Beautiful River of Life Songtext
von Tom T. Hall

This is a beautiful river (brother)
This is a beautiful stream
This is a beautiful river (sister)
This is a beautiful dream

I know it flows through the mountains
Sometimes there′s trouble and strife
This is a beautiful river
The beautiful river of life

The river of life is a journey (brother)
All of God's children must take
Sharing our moments of glory (sister)
Learning from all our mistakes


I know it flows through the mountains
Sometimes there′s trouble and strife
This is a beautiful river
The beautiful river of life

Everyone rides on the river (brother)
Sometimes it's deep and it's wide
If we don′t cross over together (sister)
Meet you on the other side

I know it flows through the mountains
Sometimes there′s trouble and strife
This is a beautiful river
The beautiful river of life
Beautiful river of life
