Two Rivers ~ One Sea

Two Rivers

C G7

We are two rivers flow

F

Flowing to the sea

G7 F

I want you to be you

G C

I want me to be me.

Chorus :

C

We’re two rivers,

G7

Flowing rivers

F G7

Rivers, to the sea…..

C G7

Rivers, flowing rivers,

F G

Journeying to the sea.

Sometimes our paths may cross

But sometimes maybe naught.

It’s ok cos you will see

That’s how it’s meant to be.

We are two separate beings,

Meandering to the sea

We’re together yet apart and

That’s how it’s gonna be

I wrote this song for someone I was seeing a couple of months ago (1st song I ever wrote and I was pretty pleased with myself!)

Whilst doing the Shikoku walk, there was a long stretch along the river and my Two Rivers song kept coming to me (yeah, it's such a great song with such a catchy tune.... haha). Anyway, I was singing along at the top of my lungs and then BANG, suddenly, the meanings of the words came to me!

I can't imagine what I must have been thinking when I wrote it! At that time, I honestly couldn't for the life of me understand why Mr M wasn't ecstatic with joy when I sang and dedicated this song to him. Needless to stay, that relationship didn't last very long. Mr M did not appreciate the "Let's be together yet apart" relationship and looking back at it now, I wonder if I had been more willing to be more "together-together", we would still be together! haha)

The rivers flow into one sea

One fabric ~ one ocean

All beings ~ All living things

To feel pain when you are in pain

To feel happiness when you are happy

To be one

Wisdom and compassion melting

as the diamond scepter penetrates the heart of the lotus flower

united as one.
