By the River — Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band

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
