There inside my dream

I heard the river roar

I stumbled through the darkened mist

But I couldn't find the shore



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



And the river will flow?

The river will flow?

Through all of the times of your life?

The river will flow?

And the river is love?

The river is peace?

And the river will flow through the hearts?

of those who believe



So put your hands in mine?

Oh, put your hands in mine?

And let us all go down?

And kneel by the river's side?



We’ll cry our tears of joy?

Cry our tears of pain?

We'll let them fall down from our eyes

?to be washed in the sacred stream

Even the secret tears?

buried in our memories?

Let them all be swept away?to the depths of the endless sea



And the river will flow?

The river will flow?

Through all of the times of your life?

The river will flow?

And the river is love?

The river is peace?

And the river will flow through the hearts?

of those who believe
