This is how it's always been
Sun comes up, the day begins
People come and then they go
I've been around long enough to know
If you have a single seed
That's enough, that's all you need
And if you're lost in the night
Keep the river on your right
I've been wrangled, I've been wrong
I've been strangled til I'm gone
And some nights you know I pray
That I won't live another day
But if you give a dog a bone
That's enough to make it home
And if you're lost in the night
Keep the river on your right
I don't know, but I suspect
What you give is what you get
I don't know, but I believe
What you get is what you need
So if you have a single dime
Well, we're only buying time
And if you're lonely in the night
Keep the river on your right
If you've fallen down a well
And no one can hear you yell
Ain't no one can hear you call
Well the river hears it all
Baby come and be my friend
Just the way that we began
Baby come sit next to me
Cause you're the one thing I believe
If you have a single seed
Give it love, that's all it needs
And if you're lost in the night
Keep the river on your right
If you have a single seed
Give it love, that's all it needs
And if you're lonely in the night
Keep the river on your right
Keep the river on your right
