    It doesn't make sense, but that's what the song has. I'm not about to argue the abstract qualities of a song or not, but the lyrics and the two versions I have both use riddle instead of river, so that's staying there. Besides, the 'bearing' part is for life, not the riddle part. The song is likening life to a riddle (seeking to find Answers). As for the 'flow from the land', that's also taking about life.

    Lol. I only do essays when there's enough to actually argue about. But in the case of our debate, I stick to my view, so I can't really say much. Besides, it's just song lyrics.
