River's Gonna Rise |
| Darkness hides the faces |
| Of we who hold the power |
| We don’t need to be rich |
| We only need to be free |
| Chains of oppression |
| Never gonna break |
| But a day will come when we hold the key |
| Time will remind us |
| That the people still have a choice |
| And we don’t want violence |
| Until there’s no other choice |
| But the river’s gonna rise |
| Wash our struggles away |
| The sun is gonna shine |
| Shine down on a brand new day |
| Bells will be ringing |
| Flames reaching to the sky |
| Higher and higher |
| Fueled by the winds of change |
| Sweet taste of freedom |
| Fresh on the tips of our tongues |
| And the dust of the past is all that shall remain |
| Echoes of our voices |
| Ringing all through the town |
| Will drown out the memories |
| Of the days when we were bound |
| The river’s gonna rise |
| Wash our struggles away |
| The sun is gonna shine |
| Shine down on a brand new day |
| Yeah, we’re gonna rise up singing |
| Like a bird on the wing |
| A million hearts beating |
| To the rhythm that the new day brings |
| The river’s gonna rise |
| The river’s gonna rise |
| The river’s gonna rise |
| Wash our struggles away |
| And the sun is sun is gonna shine |
| Shine down on the brand new day |
| Shine down on the brand new day |
| Shine down on the brand new day |
