[Verse 1]
You are my river, keep on flowing through
You are my river, keep on flowing through
Filling my life with all of you
You are the freedom I've been searching for
You are the freedom I've been searching for

[Chorus]
That's why I love you just for who you are
Oh, how I love you just for who you are

[Verse 2]
There will be hard times everyone must go through
Testing his love just to see if it's true
But the hard times will come, but they all pass away
I have seen the light in my life today

[Chorus]
That's why I love you just for who you are

[Verse 3]
You are my river, keep on flowing
You are my river, keep on flowing
You are my river
Oh yeah, keep on flowing
Would you keep on flowing?
River, flowing river
Just, just keep on flowing
Just, just keep on flowing
Just, just keep on flowing

Santana

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
