The River

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, youre 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 were awaken and ready fo flee River, we hitchhikers Beggin for mercy Survive us from yesterdays curses Dont damn us Before you receive us Were needin your face And your trust
