Only Our Rivers' Run Free |
When apples still grow in November |
When Blossoms still bloom from each tree |
When leaves are still green in December |
It’s then that our land will be free |
I wander her hills and her valleys |
And still through my sorrow I see |
A land that has never known freedom |
And only her rivers run free |
I drink to the death of her manhood |
Those men who’d rather have died |
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage |
To bring back their rights were denied |
Oh where are you now when we need you |
What burns where the flame used to be |
Are ye gone like the snows of last winter |
And will only our rivers run free? |
How sweet is life but we’re crying |
How mellow the wine but it’s dry |
How fragrant the rose but it’s dying |
How gentle the breeze but it sighs |
What good is in youth when it’s aging |
What joy is in eyes that can’t see |
When there’s sorrow in sunshine and flowers |
And still only our rivers run free |
