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 curve
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?
Cybie is going to Cambodia. She will see how’s the river at Cambodia, and then decide which curve she should take, the smooth or the curvy?
Which one will you choose?
The smooth or the curvy river?

Smooth way - too boring and meaningless
Curvy way - too risky and might hurt myself
U turn - too hard to challenge the flow
Too tired of rowing and choosing and making decision..
Might as well jump into the river, leave the boat, swim to the river bank and walk on my feet… walk as far as I want,run as fast as I can..!
When tired, I can sit down under the trees, enjoying the shade and the fruits..
By the way, I dunno how to swim..
