River

Lyrics

River runnin' free Let your water flow through me Reach beyond where I can see Quench some thirsty soul in need River, river I have lived in the desert I have dwelt in a barren land Once I built my life upon the shifting sand I had no firm foundation Had no shelter to cover me There was little hope that I could see Then I looked across this thirsty land Felt the heat of the burning sand Didn't think that I could live another day But then what had seemed a hopeless thing Turned into a desert spring And its waters washed my hopelessness away Oh, river runnin' free Let your water flow through me Reach beyond where I can see Quench some thirsty soul in need River, river Oh, river, flow through me Touch every soul I see Flow out of me River runnin' free Let your water flow through me Reach beyond where I can see Quench some thirsty soul in need River, river
