"He wants me to be steady…" Pocahontas said to Meeko and Flit when they caught up with her later that day. "...like the river."
As they looked closer at the river, two otters popped out of the water, startling Meeko and Flit.
"But it's not steady at all." Pocahontas added as she hopped into her canoe and followed the otters through the river.
What I love most about rivers is:
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend
For me
Coming for me
I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for...
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend...
As she rowed past the rest of her animal friends, rode the waterfall down to some rapids and over the rainbow, Pocahontas noticed two paths; one was smooth and calm while the other was in a zigzag form.
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the riverbend?
