"So Many Rivers" lyrics

"So Many Rivers"

Wooh-ooh-hoo

Wastin' my life
All the way back to my mama's breast
My heart wasn't ready for the changes that had to come
No, no

I never knew that life had so many bridges to cross
Every one was a lesson that I had to learn

Over each mountain
Oh, every stream I kept reachin', reachin' for my dream
I learned how to bend with every curve that life threw me

Whooo
I've taken my chances
Jumpin' each side of the fences
I paid a high price for the toll
Tryna be a dancer, yeah

So many rivers (Rivers)
So many bridges (Bridges)
So many mountains (Mountains)
Oh, so many turns

Got to be a reason (Reason)
For every season (For every season)
Oh and I'm just turnin' the pages of my life's...
Storybook, yeah

I'm standing at the crossroads
Wonderin' which way does life go
Where does that river flow

I was to learn, I was to learn
What my mama said a long time ago

Experience is your wisdom
Truth is your freedom
You're on your own, mirror mine
My reflection was that river all the time

So many rivers (Rivers)
So many bridges (Bridges)
So many mountains (Mountains)
Oh so many turns, oh yeah

There's got to be a reason (Reason)
For every, every season (For every season)
I'm just turnin' the pages of my life's...
Storybook, wohh-ohh
Oh yeah

Well
So many rivers (Rivers)
So many bridges (Bridges)
So many mountains (Mountains)
Oh, so many turns, yeah

There's got to be a reason (Reason)
For every season (For every season)
I'm just turnin' the pages of my life's...
Storybook

Ooh-hoo
Oh yeah

(Rivers) Woo-hooh-hooh
(Bridges)
Say it one more time
(Mountains)
So many mountains, so many turns

So many rivers (Rivers)
So many bridges (Bridges)
So many mountains (Mountains)
Oh, looking all those turns...
