Some people seek adventure
|
Some people long for rest
|
Still others search for wisdom
|
When our Land's put to the test
|
|
Tears of challenge, joy, and love
|
The river knows them well
|
And no matter what we're dreaming of
|
The river takes us in its spell
|
With timeless tales to tell
|
What tales to tell
|
|
I've got a wish tonight
|
I've got a hope for us to share
|
And as those rivers flow
|
I dream of being with you where
|
We can finally be
|
One nation truly free
|
Flowing the river
|
Flowing like the many rivers
|
Flowing like the many rivers
|
To one sea
|
One sea
|
|
Some rivers will run slowly
|
Some race to reach the end
|
The course straight as an arrow
|
Or it snakes from bend to bend
|
|
Through long nights, through golden days
|
The river journeys on
|
In a winter chill or summer haze
|
The river bids our cares be gone
|
There's safe harbor come the dawn
|
Let's breathe the dawn
|
|
And I've got a wish tonight
|
I've got a hope for us to share
|
And as those rivers flow
|
I dream of being with you where
|
We can finally be
|
One nation truly free
|
Flowing the river
|
Flowing like the many rivers
|
Flowing like the many rivers
|
To one sea
|
|
Like ribbons through the land
|
They connects us to each other
|
When we seek to understand
|
The river comforts like a mother
|
And along the river's shore
|
We all become part of the story
|
|
Oh, I've got a wish tonight (I've got a wish)
|
I've got a hope for us to share
|
And as those rivers flow
|
I dream of being with you where
|
We can finally be
|
One nation truly free
|
Flowing the river
|
Flowing like the many rivers
|
Flowing like the many rivers
|
To one sea
|
|
(The river tells a story)
|
(Of a people and a land)
