(Williams)
|
When the mountain touches the valley, all the clouds are taught to fly
|
as our souls will leave this land most peacefully.
|
Though our minds be filled with questions, in our hearts we'll understand
|
when the river meets the sea.
|
|
Like a flower that has blossomed in the dry and barren sand,
|
We are born and born again most gracefully.
|
Thus the winds of time will take us with a sure and steady hand
|
when the river meets the sea.
|
|
Patience, my brother and patience, my son, in that sweet and final hour
|
truth and justice will be done.
|
|
Like a baby when it is sleeping in its loving mother's arms,
|
what a newborn baby dreams is a mystery.
|
But his life will find a purpose and in time he'll understand
|
when the river meets the sea. When the river meets the almighty sea.
