There inside my dream
I heard the river roar
I stumbled through the darkened mist
But I could not 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"

Oh-oh-oh
And the river will flow
The river will flow
Through all of the times of your life
The river will flow
Oh, and the river is love
The river is peace
And the river will flow through the hearts
Of those who believe

So put your hand in mine
Oh, put your hand in mine
And let us all go down
And kneel by the river's side
