There inside my dream I heard the river roar I stumbled through the darkened mist But I couldn't find the shore Then 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" Chorus: 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 Chorus Repeat Chorus
