There is a river running smoothly
And it runs smoothly ‘round the bend
There is a message in the bottle
And it is to you I wish to send
The river may be running smooth
But it will easily grow bored
Faster will the river go
But I don’t worry; be assured
I will tell you what the message said
What the world deserved o know
I am about to tell you what it said
So listen; here I go:
Thank you for being who you are
And please don’t ever change
I love every single inch of you
I know this may sound strange
What I feel exceeds compassion
It makes all heat feel cold
