lyrics

I went to my river but my river was dry
The dust rose up to a darkened sky
Tell me, where is hope? Where do the waters run clear?
I do not know my way from here.

Come and stand in that river
Current gentle and slow
Send your troubles down water
Down on that water flow

When you stand in that river
Angels sing in your head
Secrets beyond every worry
Dreams beyond every dread

Tell me sister, brother,
Where does that river flow?
It flows down to that great water
Where soon my people will go.

bridge:
Oh, time passes
Passes on down the stream
Some days are so much sweeter
Some days some pass like the dark dream

–Moira Smiley
