Verse:
Just as the water rises upward into space
The sun will gently draw me into his embrace
And as the sun will gather vapor into brilliant clouds of white
I rush into the ocean, my voice will rise into the light
Verse:
Just as the wind will send the clouds into the East
Upon the mountains I am sent to be released
And as the grateful earth is nourished by the sun’s cool tears of light
I will become the river, my voice will rise into the night
Chorus:
And as the sun looks upon us he will cry
He knows that as he gives us life, we all must die
Through the forest and the desert I will run
Bringing death and giving life to everyone
Verse:
And if the river through your heart has cut too deep
You may find precious stones and treasures there to keep
And if the river causes pain as it reshapes the canyon walls
On cliffs of pain and beauty, the soothing voice of sunlight falls
