THE RIVER

lyrics

The River starts as one drop of rain
falling from an endless sky
flows through mountains toward an ancient sea
where we may laugh, dance or cry

and it's all so beautiful
it pierces my heart.

Well do ya know, can't you feel there's no
reason to be looking anywhere beyond
what we have right here means everything.

(Chorus)
Earth and Waters for the Sons and Daughters of the River
Fire and Stones from the flesh and bones and the blood
Dark and Light through the struggle and fight for the River
Below and above there's a river of Love.

Sons and Daughters of this magic wheel,
drawing down the sacred Moon
into this place where fragile hearts collide
to learn what's false and what is true.

and it's all so beautiful
it pierces my heart.

Well, do ya know can't you feel there's no
reason to be looking anywhere beyond
who we are right here means everything. (Chorus)

from Hold On!, released October 15, 2003
We all seek a place of belonging, a place of love and safety where our deepest dreams are valued and respected. The River is that place, that stream of life that runs through the world, and through our veins, where we live and breathe and find our way.
