Lyrics:

River, rising to hide

Across the midnight

Wanderin’ westward by daylight

Take us and lead us to tomorrow

As fast as you come and 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 and the fog

Of this valley of death

Too many years we have

Walked in a sleep

Now we’re awaken and 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

 

Point us a way

To a shoreline ahead

Through the mist and the fog

Of this valley of death

Too many years we have

Walked in a sleep

Now we’re awaken and ready fo flee
