The River

There's a river that flows

Through a town I found

A River that knows

A heart beats so loud

There's something about

The people that come around

And stay

I wonder does this water move

Through any other places

It moves so slow and carries soul

So far i want to chase it

I know we could all use some healing

I know we could all use this medicine

There's some neighbors here

In this place i call my home

I know they could use

Some spirit of their own

I can't change the way

We're all moved by machines

I just know we all want to be seen

I wonder does this water move

Through any other places

It moves so slow and carries soul

So far i want to chase it

I know we could all use some healing

I know we could all use this medicine

There's a child inside

Between the spaces in my bones

A child who still cries

Seeds planted long ago

We can try to forget

Things that happen as we grow

Or the people who did us harm

Who needed healing of their own

So River, if you can find me

Please come take me into the world

And river, if you can hear me

Take this message into the world

And so river, if you can find me

Please come take me into the world

And river, if you can hear me

Take this message into the world

And river, if you can find me

Please come take me into the world

And river, if you can hear me

Take this message into the world

And river, if you can find me

Take me with you, into the world
