The River (Album Version)-Dan Fog[00:00:01]
I was born by a river[00:00:41]
Rolling past a town[00:00:48]
Given no direction[00:00:56]
Just told to keep my head down [00:01:03]
As I took my position[00:01:10]
A man fired a gun[00:01:17]
I was so steeped in tradition[00:01:25]
That I could not run [00:01:29]
I was raised by a river[00:01:50]
Weaned upon the sky[00:01:57]
And in the mirror of the waters[00:02:03]
I saw myself learn to cry [00:02:10]
As my tears hit the surface[00:02:17]
I saw what had been done [00:02:24]
I gave feet to my freedom[00:02:31]
And I did run [00:02:35]
Someday later[00:02:55]
I saw the writing in the dust[00:03:01]
It told me how I should travel[00:03:09]
It told me who I was [00:03:16]
I ran far from the river[00:03:45]
Far as I could see[00:03:51]
And as the sun hit my shoulders[00:03:57]
I felt it burning me [00:04:04]
How I longed for the waters[00:04:11]
As the fire raged[00:04:17]
How I longed for the river[00:04:24]
As I aged [00:04:28]
I will die by a river[00:04:46]
As it rolls away[00:04:52]
Bury me in the nighttime[00:04:59]
Do not waste the day [00:05:05]
High above the waters[00:05:11]
That roll on to the sea [00:05:18]
All the angels in heaven will[00:05:24]
Laugh at me [00:05:28]
They will laugh at me [00:05:30]
They will laugh at me[00:05:33]
They will laugh at me[00:05:36]
My life was naught but a river[00:06:04]
Rolling through my brain[00:06:14]
Made of so many teardrops[00:06:25]
Made of so much pain[00:06:36]
