River Flow

All my life I was taught Feelings come and go As the rain and wind do show. All my life I was taught I must stand in line, That it must stay as sturdy as the Rhine. All my life I was taught Rules are to be followed As birds walk on a tree that has been hollowed. But must we believe What we have been taught For I have for so long thought that not? Must we believe What they all preach Or become new like waves on a beach? Must we believe That they stoop so low Or be individual like a river’s flow? I now believe That I must indeed Find something that the world does so need.
