Lyrics
(verse 1)
I've seen my share of struggle / When I thought that I knew best
When I've sailed through a storm / 'Stead of stopping to rest
And it always seems the hardest / When I've made up my stubborn mind
Well I'm changing my ways this time
(chorus)
I wanna be like water
Coming down a mountain
Into shadowy canyons
Flowing from pool to stream
Wanna be like water
Head uphill no more
I am bound for the sea
(verse 2)
Have you ever seen an eagle / Head straight into the wind
He doesn't pick a fight / Spreads his wings and just gives in
And in the end he always / Makes it home just fine
I guess he knows that every storm subsides
(chorus)
(bridge)
I'll let nature take its course
No more thinking that I know
Where this river's meant to go
(verse 3)
I have railed against the stars / For the cards that I've been dealt
For the lottery I've never won / For the heartache that I've felt
But it always seems when I let go / Of expectation and regret
Life has plenty of suprises for me yet
(chorus)
