Lyrics
Verse 1 - Sometimes it's not so easy floating down the river of life. Sometimes you have to steer your boat to the left or to the right. I just can't afford to let trouble come on board, that's why I have to keep floating till I reach the other shore. Hook - I'm floatin down the river, the river of life it's just one way to go. I'm floatin down the river, the river of life I'm taking it slow, it's the only way I know. Verse 2 -Sometimes the waves pushed so hard my boat begins to rock, at times the going got so tough I felt like jumping off (swimming away). So I battened down the hatches and I braced for the storm, and when the storm was over I was glad I stayed on board. Bridge - (Stayed) Now I can look back on all my life floating past all my problems and toils and strife. I'm so glad I was able to keep the goal in sight, that's why I keep floating down the river of life. Repeat Hook
