Nationaal Songfestival 2003:
Mary Amora - "Somewhere by the River"

Somewhere by the River

I remember the pure reflection, the beauty of it all
Not a trace of dissatisfaction, as far as I recall
Then, in the course of time, we saw our unity diverge
Looking for excuses to justify the urge

But somewhere by the river
In the darkest of the night
The cold won't make us still shiver
Because the fire still burns inside
Somewhere by the river
We're gonna let our souls unite
Waking up the dawn with laughter
Somewhere by the river

We were given a thousand chances, one for every day
But being hampered by circumstances, we gave it all away
Cool winds from all directions, nowhere left to run
Looking for a staircase to take us closer to the sun

But somewhere by the river
In the darkest of the night
The cold won't make us still shiver
Because the fire still burns inside
Somewhere by the river
We're gonna let our souls unite
Someday, everything will be alright

We're gonna have to be courageous (Turn our lives around)
Wiping off the dust of ages
We've got a will to turn the pages (Right here, right now)

But somewhere by the river
In the darkest of the night
The cold won't make us still shiver
Because the fire still burns inside
Somewhere by the river
We're gonna let our souls unite

(Somewhere by the river) There's a place for us to hide
(The cold won't make us shiver) Make us shiver
'Cause the fire's still alight
(Somewhere by the river)
We're gonna mаke the whole world right
And I'll be by your ѕide
