Adrift and lame we are drawn to the flame
Of a distant, dying star
We return to be burned in the cosmic urn
And become what we already are
Then race through space at a reckless pace
And arrive as we do, every time
To divide the Earth by material worth
That one's yours but this one's mine
Feel the pull of the river
See the people in waist deep
The current carries the promises
No one keeps
In the end we defend what we can't comprehend
And shake our fists at the sky
The same old game, we shift the blame
To anyone but you and I
So refrain from chains that hold us down
Be they hate, mistrust or greed
And fear no harm for these opened arms
Have the love we so desperately need
Feel the rush of the river
See the people in neck deep
Stretch your neck to the sky
And strain to breathe
