There’s a river in my country 
Only water flowin’ to the sea 
But that river once set us free 

Let me take you to its levee’s, 
Let’s walk through its poppy fields 
Now hush & peaceful it feels unreal 

See the soldiers in their trenches 
Feel the cold mud of no man’s land 
Hear the Last Post for the cursed & damned 

And I don’t know if we will make it 
I don’t know if we’re meant to be 
If this river can make a difference, so can we 
Oh my sweet baby, walk with me 

There’s a river in my country 
Once so strong to flood & drain 
Maybe that’s why it has iron in its name 

Let me take you to its lock gates 
Let’s drive through its green lands 
Now calm & quiet it’s hard to understand 

And if this river has the power 
To make an army fall apart 
I’ll be strong enough to win your heart 
Oh my sweet baby, why don’t you flood my heart
