Music: Alan Menken Lyrics: Stephen Schwartz
Pocahontas: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
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for What I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend For me
Coming for me
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
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? Just around the riverbend ...
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 riverbend?
