The River

Lyrics

Legend has is there's a place A place of transition change With people all around joing hands Singing the song of overcomers How they withstood Big Brother's hand Peace and joy life's luxuries Can't compare to mysteries Beyond what any eyes ever see Further than Jersey to Francisco Further than LA to Iran , Iran As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly Cherry plants and tambourines Iridescent figurines And a vintage clock with blue painted hands Tells of a time when life was simple Tells of a time when folks used to lend helping hands Taxicabs and hoola hoops Feel like I could run through troops And I feel like I could leap over walls Once upon a time a broken vessel Now I am filled with immortality As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As the Kingdom sings The Throne changed from red to green As the horses bow and drink from the spring Oh, we made it over Spread my wings and I'll fly So long cruel old world goodbye As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river expecting to fly As we stood on the edge of the river........
