a little bit confuse about this part lyric from the song ' Row Row Row Your Boat' so i try to search what does it mean.. and finnaly found this article here is the link Life is but a dream and here is the underline from the article The boat The boat signifies this body. It is the vessel for moving, learning, and growing. Row, row, row Without rowing, your boat won’t move – will it? Reaching your destination requires effort, discipline, and clarity of direction. Gently down the stream Pushing too hard only creates stress, tension, and illness. Enjoy the fullness of the moment as it streams by. Merrily, merrily, merrily Attitude is everything. A gentle, playful spirit will magnetize positivity and good results. Life is but a dream Life is often likened to an illusion – a dream, a magic show, a visual aberration, a mirage, an echo, a reflection. All that arises in our mind and in the world around us appears yet is empty of inherent existence.
