Have you seen her down by the river
For a dime she'll tell you the vision she sees
She longs for what people don't give her
They just say she's crazy
And all she gets is sympathy

I watched her dance in the moonlight
And I wonder how she could be so free
So I let got of all that I hold inside
She looked at me and said
This is how it's supposed to be

Stay the way that you are
Don't go changing
Take each day as it comes to you
Make the most of the life that surrounds you
Live life unconditionally

As a dawn broke over the water
Her reflection was washed away with a breeze
Like the mother lets go of her daughter
I make my way back home
And remember what she said to me

Stay the way that you are
Don't go changing
Take each day as it comes to you
Make the most of the life that surrounds you
Live life unconditionally

Don't go changing what you feel inside
Don't live for nobody
'Cause what I found is so beautiful
Oh, you must believe in all that you do

Have you seen her down by the river
For a dime she'll tell you the vision she sees
She longs for what people don't give her
They just say she's crazy
And all she gets is sympathy

Stay the way that you are
Don't go changing
Take each day as it comes to you
Make the most of the life that surrounds you
Live life unconditionally

Stay the way that you are
Don't go changing
Take each day as it comes to you
Make the most of the life that surrounds you
Live life unconditionally
