| Three long years now, since I’ve seen her face
|
| Three long years now, since she left this angry place
|
| Destiny called her but too soon for her age
|
| Oh if I’d, I’d only listened, she might be here today
|
| And we’re all gonna ride this river
|
| And we’re all gonna feel the rain
|
| And we all take what we’re given
|
| Even the pain
|
| Cold, tired and hungry, now she’s movin' with the wind
|
| And all I do is worry about the pain she must be in
|
| If only I could see you, tell me why you didn’t write?
|
| Now there’s no one there to defend you and I can’t sleep at night
|
| And we’re all gonna ride this river
|
| And we’re all gonna feel the rain
|
| And we all take what we’re given
|
| Even the pain
|
| And we see the light before us
|
| Through the darkness and the shame
|
| But it all breaks down, it all breaks down
|
| Even the pain
|
| So roll on mighty river
|
| Take us down to the sea
|
| Wash away the muddy waters
|
| Set us free
|
| And we’re all gonna ride this river
|
| And we’re all gonna feel the rain
|
| And we all take what we’re given
|
| Even the pain
|
| And we see the light before us
|
| Through the darkness and the shame
|
| But it all breaks down, it all breaks down
|
| Even the pain
|
| And we’re all gonna ride this river
|
| And we’re all gonna feel the rain
|
| And we all take what we’re given
|
| Even the pain |
