SONG: Just Around The Riverbend
ARTIST: Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz
From the musical, Pocahontas
[Intro]
[Verse]
What I love most about rivers is:
You can t step in the same river twice
The water s always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can t live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What s around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend
[Chorus]
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don t know what for
D9sys D9
What I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend
For me
Coming for me
[Verse]
I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend
[Chorus]
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don t know what for ...
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Dm/G x
Just around the riverbend ...
[Bridge]
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the river
bend?
