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 |
