[Verse 1]
How come we can't talk to each other anymore?
Why can't you see I'm changin', too?
We've got by far too long to end it feelin' wronged
And I still share too much with you

[Chorus]
Just one great river always flowin' to the sea
One single river rollin' in eternity
Two nations in the land that lies along its shore
But just one river rollin' free

[Verse 2]
How come you shut me out as if I wasn't there?
What's this new bitterness you've found?
However wronged you were, however strong it hurt
It wasn't me that held you down

[Chorus]
Just one great river always flowin' to the sea
One single river rollin' in eternity
Two nations in the land that lies along its shore
But just one river rollin' free

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Why can't you understand I'm glad you're standin' proud
I know you made it on your own
But in this pride you've earned I thought you might have learned
That you don't have to stand alone

[Chorus]
Lonely northern rivers come together 'til you see
One single river rollin' in eternity
Two nations in the land that lies along its shore
But just one river, you and me
