The River of My Life is a deeply personal piece that explores Botteri’s journey to find what he describes as the “river” within his life – a powerful symbol of purpose and dreams. Reflecting on the song, Botteri shares:
“I wrote this song about my journey to find the river that runs through my life – the river of my dreams, my visions, and my spirit. The river flows like rainwater, winding through my hopes and waiting for the day I finally reach it. This river is a part of me, a vision that I hold onto, guiding me along the path of my life. I am never lost while I wait for it, and I am never weary as I dream of this river.”
