By The River Lyrics by Bob Seger
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
