The River
River, rising to hide
Across the midnight
Wanderin' westward by daylight
Take us & lead us to tomorrow
As fast as you come & can flow
River, you're windin'
An unending rhythm
The sooner keep
Movin' to warn him
The spirit that keeps
Us from sinking
Guide us from going astray
Point us a way
To a shoreline ahead
Through the mist & the fog
Of this valley of death
Too many years we have
Walked in a sleep
Now we're awaken & ready fo flee
River, we hitchhikers
Beggin' for mercy
Survive us from yesterday's curses
Don't damn us
Before you receive us
We're needin' your face
And your trust
