Just around the riverbend

du film Pocahontas

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 with 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...

Should I choose the smoothest curve
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?
