I went to the river
But my river was dry
The dust rose up
To a darkened sky
Tell me, where is hope?
Where do the waters run clear?
I do not know my way from here
Come, and stand in that river
Current, gentle and slow
Send your troubles down water
Down on that water flow
When you stand in that river
Angels sing in your head
Secrets beyond every worry
Dreams beyond every dread
Tell me, sister, brother
Where does that river flow?
It flows down to the great water
Where soon my people will go
Come, and stand in that river
Current, gentle and slow
Send your troubles down water
Down on that water flow
When you stand in that river
Angels sing in your head
Secrets beyond every worry
Dreams beyond every dread
Tell me, sister
Tell me, brother
Where does that river flow?
It flows down to the great water
Where soon my people will go
Oh, time passes
Passes on down the stream
Some days are so much sweeter
Some days pass like a dark dream
Come, and stand in that river
Current, gentle and slow
Send your troubles down water
Down on that water flow
Come, and stand in that river
Current, gentle and slow
Send your troubles down water
Down on that water flow
