lyrics

The River

The rich man and the poor man side by side, with the crooked and the crippled and the lame
The tired and disappointed, the hopeful and assured
Underneath the skin our hearts are shaped the same

Some may come in satin or in silk, or naked as the day when they were born
The masterful & mighty, the humble and the meek
Come together seeking shelter from the storm

And we’ll all go down to the river tonight and sing to a beautiful tune
We will watch our dreams as they sail into sight and dance by the light of the moon
And we’ll dance by the light of the moon

You may come with superstition or with faith, with all the doubts that you just can’t lay down
The reckless and the righteous, the fearful and the strong
Walking hand in hand on common ground

The renegades who swim against the tide, the lives held in the balance all the time
The poets and the prophets, the mad and starry eyed
Fragile hearts caught in the firing line

And we’ll all go down to the river tonight......

So bring the Priests and Politicians in, let prejudice and pride all disappear
Bring every creed and colour bring every race and tribe
Tell the world that all are welcome here

And we’ll all go down to the river tonight.....
