The River

作詞 : Douglas Lobban/Jamie Bulled/Sarah Perry

Holy mother

Receive our hearts in your arms

And let our souls pass

The day the rain returns again

Holy mother

Receive our hearts in your arms

And let our souls pass

The day the rain returns again

We pass down our wisdom

After sunshine comes thunder

The longer the drought

The heavier the clouds

Collecting water in glass

Counting the days against the crops that last

A dwarf shoot yawns at the sky

Daring a stratonimbus in the vicinity to spit on it

When Earth is submerging

And heaven is open

The river will carry all of us to

Where we belong

But then a shadow is cast

Over the hills a shower first

Then a torrent crashes down

Releasing the jungle swelling in the ground

And as was foretold our time is out

Holy mother

Receive our hearts in your arms

And let our souls pass

The day the rain returns again

Holy mother

Receive our hearts in your arms

And let our souls pass

The day the rain returns again

Holy mother

Receive our hearts in your arms

And let our souls pass

The day the rain returns again

Holy mother

Receive our hearts in your arms

And let our souls pass

The day the rain returns again

We pass down our wisdom

After sunshine comes thunder

The longer the drought

The heavier the clouds

When Earth is submerging

And heaven is open

The river will carry all of us to

Where we belong

And no-one shall be left over(Where we belong)

For the river’s too strong(Where we belong)

I trust mother to know(Where we belong)

So watch the raindrops
