lyrics

Two rivers flow to the sea, they flow too fast for you and me
Two highways, make your choice, two songs to sing but only one voice

And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying

Four people, best of friends, four people faithful ’til the end
Two people there to see, two people always somewhere else to be

And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying

A world on its knees, no place for you and me in a universe of total strangers
To pay the boatman’s price, the truth is sacrificed by a world that doesn’t see the dangers

Two endings not quite written yet, one line too easy to forget
Two chances, give the coin a spin, two runners race but only one can win

And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying

And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying

(A face turned in on itself sees only what it shows to itself. Beguiled, it believes the image it beholds. Without integrity, there is no dignity. Strive to look outward, for only then will you see the truth, reflected in how others see you)
