Story Behind the Song
There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift,
that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold
on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and
will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The
elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the
middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads
above the water. And I say, see who is in there with you
and celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our
spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish
the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner
and in celebration.
WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
