At The Rivers Bend
by Randy L. Redmond
Source: Tears rolling down the Heartstring, (2004) p.11
A gentle wind blows through the trees
As a cloud floats across the sun
A shadow moves by
Like the wind and the sky
Makes you see blue
As a leaf falls across the view
Who knew what the river could do
At the days end
I take a walk at the rivers bend
Right down the path where calm waters flow
Warm winds blow
What do they send warm flowing thoughts?
At the rivers bend
The warm sun heats up the ground
As a girl sets getting a tan
A bird flies over her head
She throws food in the air
As the trees start to blow
You know what the water will do
Sending ripples through the water
At the rivers bend
There, you can take your dreams
So they will come true

All The Rivers Run
by Randy L. Redmond
Source: Tears Rolling Down the Heartstring (2004) p.10
We all were young once
And thought all rivers run clear
No one dreamed it would be perfect
But no one hoped, it would be this way
Pollution and crime
Just don't give a damn
Religion and death
Just can't tell a soul
We all take rough roads
And wish all rivers run smooth
No one seemed it would even matter
But no one believed, it would fall apart
Starvation and drugs
Just don't have a shot
Temptation and laws
Just can't pay a bill
We're all scared and lonely
And that's why all the rivers run
Runaway, runaway, far away
We all need a little love
So go where all the rivers run
Runaway, runaway, far away
