Timeless River

Jonah Tolchin


River of one thousand eyes
River of one thousand voices
Looking down into the river where I died
And left behind one thousand choices

You have to sin to begin again
You have to drown to be reborn
Like a child you’ve been set free
Like a child you’ll fall again

Timeless river rolling nowhere
Timeless river stealing your fear
Timeless river, timeless river
Timeless river, set me free

Listen to that river sing
Listen to that river flowing
The jailbird wakes and spreads her wings
In my heart the chains are broken

Timeless river rolling nowhere
Timeless river stealing your fear
Timeless river, timeless river
Timeless river, set me free

All my judgements and desires
Have perished with the funeral pyre
All my anger all my pain
Have vanished like the morning rain

Timeless river rolling nowhere
Timeless river stealing your fear
Timeless river, timeless river
Timeless river, set me free
