It's a big ol' river, got mud on the bottom,
Got mud on the bottom, get mud on your shoe,
It's a big ol' river so you better get to walkin'
It's a big ol' river and a long way too
It's a big ol' river
It's a big ol' river and a long way too
There's smoke on the land and
Mirrors in the water
There's smoke on the land,
Fire in the street,
There's smoke from the hand of a
Uniform magician
Turn his own crimes
Into another man's pain
There's plenty of food
And there's plenty of money,
There's plenty of hunger,
There's plenty of greed
And there's plenty o' reason
To tell you that there isn't
While there's plenty who die
With nothin' to eat
Yeah (chorus)
There's plenty for war
And there's plenty for killin'
And there's plenty for takin'
Another man's life
And there's plenty o reasons, they'll
Tell you that we got 'em
While the prophets are countin'
Far from the lie (?) well
It was a great big world but
Now it's getting smaller,
Was a great big world but now we can see,
It's a great big world and we got
Sisters and brothers,
Lovin' every country in prayers for peace
It's a big ol' river, got mud on the bottom,
Got mud on the bottom, get mud on your shoe,
It's a big ol' river so you better get to walkin'
It's a big ol' river and a long way to
