Tom T. Hall Beautiful River Of Life Lyrics

This is a beautiful river, brother
This is a beautiful stream
This is a beautiful river, sister
This is a beautiful dream

I know it flows through the mountains
Sometimes there's trouble and strife
This is a beautiful river, the beautiful river of life

The river of life is a journey, brother
All of God's children must take Sharing our moments of glory, sister
Learning from all our mistakes

I know it flows through the mountains

Everyone rides on the river, brother
Sometimes it's deep and it's wide
If we don't cross over together, sister
Meet you on the other side

I know it flows through the mountains
Beautiful river of life
