I went to the river But my river was dry The dust rose up To a darkened sky Tell me, where is hope? Where do the waters run clear? I do not know my way from here Come, and stand in that river Current, gentle and slow Send your troubles down water Down on that water flow When you stand in that river Angels sing in your head Secrets beyond every worry Dreams beyond every dread Tell me, sister, brother Where does that river flow? It flows down to the great water Where soon my people will go Come, and stand in that river Current, gentle and slow Send your troubles down water Down on that water flow When you stand in that river Angels sing in your head Secrets beyond every worry Dreams beyond every dread Tell me, sister Tell me, brother Where does that river flow? It flows down to the great water Where soon my people will go Oh, time passes Passes on down the stream Some days are so much sweeter Some days pass like a dark dream Come, and stand in that river Current, gentle and slow Send your troubles down water Down on that water flow Come, and stand in that river Current, gentle and slow Send your troubles down water Down on that water flow
