G C G
If you don’t kiss the morning then the morning kisses you
D
All it wants is for you to start your day
G C G
The current of the new day longs to send you down stream
D G
It’s easier than going the other way
[Chorus]
C G
Roll away roll away
C
Let the river take you
Am D7
But don’t forget to pray
C G
Roll away roll away
C D7
Remember all tomorrow’s rivers
G
Start today
[Verse 2]
G C G
The world will always tell you that you have to swim upstream
D
Its fuel is the sweat upon your brow
G C
There is another way to swim without risk to life and limb
G D G
Listen close and I will tell you how
[Chorus]
C G
Roll away (hey) roll away
C
Let the river take you
Am D7
It surely knows its way
C G
Roll away roll away
C D7
Remember all tomorrow’s rivers
G
Start today
[Interlude]
Am
I know you faced the river down
G
Many years ago
Em Am
It almost pulled you under once before
Am
There’s nothing to lose or win
G
All that’s asked is that you swim
C A7 D7
In this life the only sin is staying on the shore
[Verse 3]
G C G
You will find out who you are in the dark black of night
G D
When you feel your life’s in disarray
G C
Let this song inspire you and light a simple fire in you
G D G
Be braver with each note I play
[Chorus]
C G
Roll away roll away
C
Let the river take you
Am D7
But don’t forget to pray
C G
Roll away roll away
C D7
Remember all tomorrow’s rivers
G
Start today
