lyrics

THE WORLD IS A RIVER
(Laura Powers)

The world is a river
Running through me
The wind is a whisper of
Ghosts and sounds
I flow with the waters
I bend with the breezes
And I will love you
From where I’m bound

The world is a river
With traces of glory
A thread that runs through us
And I hear the story of
You and me
Every sorrow and every dream

I will sing you the song of
Hope in my heart
I’ll reach to the distance
And flow where you are
For the world is a river
The world is a river

I do not know you yet
I run through you
Echoes of memories
Pale as the moon
The road of our
Mothers’ restless journey
The way of the water
They once knew

The world is a river
A keeper of secrets
And here in the darkness
I hear the story of you and me
Every sorrow and every dream

Will you sing me the song
Deep in your heart
I’ll reach to the distance
And flow where you are
For the world is a river
The world is a river

I hear the cry of the ancients
For dreams that never would be
A million voices still calling
Remember me, remember me
The world is a river
Running through me
The wind is a whisper of
Ghosts and sounds
Old as the waters
Young as the breezes
I will love you
From where I’m bound

I will sing you the song of
Hope in my heart
I’ll reach to the distance
And flow where you are
For the world is a river
The world is a river
