Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which way, the river gonna flow
It's just seems that upstream, I keep rolling
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go
Then at last, it's your right, I know, I swear
We'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
But that's all right, sometimes
The sunlight comes streaming through the holes

Lord I don't know which way I am going
I am lost and unsure of my destination
Which way, the river gonna flow
I cannot predict what the future holds
It's just seems that upstream, I keep rolling
I feel like I am struggling against the current
Still got such a long way to go
I have a lot of distance to cover before I reach my goals
Then at last, it's your right, I know, I swear
I am confident that we will eventually find success
We'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
We will reach a place of great prosperity and abundance
But it's fly, split the sky
We may encounter obstacles or challenges on our journey
But that's all right, sometimes
Despite setbacks, we must remain optimistic
The sunlight comes streaming through the holes
There will always be moments of hope and positivity amidst the darkness
