the river will flow lyrics

There inside my dream
I heard the river roar
I stumbled through the darkened mist
But I couldn't find the shore

A voice within the mist
Said "Tell me what do you seek?"
I said "I have a mighty thirst
but I feel so tired and weak"
He said "I am the river
full of power and truth
You've been looking outside yourself
When it's there inside of you" oh

And the river will flow

The river will flow

Through all of the times of your life

The river will flow

And the river is love

The river is peace

And the river will flow through the hearts

of those who believe

So put your hands in mine

Oh, put your hands in mine

And let us all go down

And kneel by the river's side


We’ll cry our tears of joy

Cry our tears of pain

We'll let them fall down from our eyes

to be washed in the sacred stream
Even the secret tears

buried in our memories

Let them all be swept away
to the depths of the endless sea

And the river will flow

The river will flow

Through all of the times of your life

The river will flow

And the river is love

The river is peace

And the river will flow through the hearts

of those who believe
