The downpour's coming; it's on the rise,
|
Where the river runs above the cold, dark sand,
|
The rain is falling on the desert tonight,
|
There's a voice in the river, and the faithful understand,
|
I just can't believe my eyes tonight; what an awesome sight,
|
But I know that everything's gonna be alright.
|
|
Because you...you can't stop the river,
|
You can't hold back the rain,
|
Can't stop the power,
|
You won't feel any pain,
|
And when the water rushes over you, you start your life again,
|
You can't stop the river, oh.
|
|
The sky is turning; the dreamers awake,
|
I hear the angel voices rising with the flood,
|
My heart is pounding with the thunder above,
|
The clouds begin to cry as the river turn to blood,
|
I just can't believe my eyes tonight; what a beautiful sight,
|
But I know that everything's gonna be alright.
|
|
Because you...you can't stop the river,
|
You can't hold back the rain,
|
Can't stop the power,
|
You won't feel any pain,
|
And when the water rushes over you, you start your life again,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river.
|
|
I just can't believe my eyes tonight; what a beautiful sight,
|
Now I know that everything's gonna be alright.
|
|
Can't stop the river,
|
You can't hold back the rain, no, no, no,
|
Can't stop the power,
|
You won't feel any pain,
|
And when the water rushes over you, you start your life again,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop it.
|
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
Can't stop it,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river,
|
You can't stop the river, whoa.
