Cling to your feeble understanding
Searching the confines of your mind
You find no reason for believing
While you're sinking in the oceans of your prime
So you stand on a mountain and close your eyes
Blind to all of creation you look for a sign
Chorus:
While peace like a river runs into the setting sun
Mercy painting the sky
Nothing to analyze - making the simple wise
Looking through humble eyes
It's beautiful - simply beautiful
Picture window - pull the shade
wait for light in the dark where you lay
So you stand on a mountain and close your eyes
Blind to all of creation you look for a sign
Chorus
Oh, oh
So you stand on a mountain and close your eyes
Blind to all of creation you look for a sign
Chorus
Oh, oh
Peace like a river runs
Peace like a river runs
