Went to the river but the river was drySaw a little bird there caught my eyeKeep on running where are you goingI’ll tell you something I think’s worth knowingCities come and cities goTime can move fast and time can move slowYou’ve only got two arms on your shouldersDon’t throw your hands up only to cryDon’t throwDon’t throwDon’t throw your hands up only to cryI went to the mountain what did I see?A white beard man with a colour TVHe said can you believe these kids todayHalf of them are murderers and half of them prayFor what, for what I can’t replyYou sit and you stare and it passes you byAll the rivers, the mountains, the perilous seaOld man old man now listen to meDon’t throwDon’t throwDon’t throw your hands up only to cryWhy not live life a little bit harderYou sons don’t mind the sins of your fathersNow they’re all dancing up in the sky nowWhy not live life a little bitDon’t throw your hands up only to cry
