Always on my mind If I don't call You're still on my mind I never forget Where I was born And all the portraits Hanging on the walls Down to the river I'll follow you, together we stand as one The blood in our veins Flows wild and leaves a trace Like our motherland Oh brothers I promise you no matter how far I go The river of life Will carry me home Forever eight lives Cold the waterfall A state of hope I'm still standing tall Troubled waters Oh my Lord We have grown Stepping over sharp stones Down to the river I'll follow you, together we stand as one The blood in our veins Flows wild and leaves a trace Like our motherland Oh brothers I promise you no matter how far I go The river of life Will carry me home Forever eight lives ♪ Oh father, you're always there for us Oh my mother, you will always be The first woman of the river Always on my mind If I don't call You're all still on my mind Down to the river I'll follow you, together we stand as one The blood in our veins Flows wild and leaves a trace Like our motherland Oh brothers I promise you no matter how far I go The river of life Will carry me home Forever eight lives ♪ Down to the river I'll follow you, together we stand as one The blood in our veins Flows wild and leaves a trace Like our motherland Oh brothers I promise you no matter how far I go The river of life Will carry me home Forever eight lives
