(Verse)
|
Well, I found your hands held at last
|
With a grip of iron.
|
When the rain began, I fall up on the fire.
|
And I¡¯ve been on the seeds were sawn,
|
Our world began and changed
|
And the rain became a hurricane in time.
|
Best years of my life have passed me by
|
A taste so bittersweet I could cry.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
See the river rising right before our eyes,
|
Grip the new horizon and let the river rise.
|
|
(Verse)
|
We break the heat, cry in the street, the Lord¡¯s forgotten
|
And we prayed we¡¯d never see the light again.
|
As the world moved on we sang freedom songs, Hallelujag.
|
And the promise of a spring have finally come.
|
Changes come in waves across the dessert
|
So let the water wash the past away.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
See the river rising right before our eyes,
|
Grip the new horizon and let the river rise,
|
Let the river rise.
|
See the river rising right before our eyes,
|
Grip the new horizon and let the river rise.
