Let The River Flow

VERSE
There’s a spring back in the valley
In a grove of shady trees.
Its source is deep within the mountains,
It winds a course you cannot see.
And there flows a hidden river
Through every heart beneath the sky,
It’s the dream that seems to go on living,
It may run low but never dry.

CHORUS
It’s the power to keep going,
The power to turn around.
It’s the power to keep growing,
To see a light in the darkest night.
Let the river flow.

VERSE
Like the spring back in the valley,
The river never seems to end.
When tomorrow rises like a mountain,
The river will carry us again.

CHORUS
It’s the power of the laughter,
The power of the tears.
A stream of understanding,
It’s always run, and help us overcome.
Let the river flow.

VERSE

CHORUS
It’s the power to keep going,
The power to turn around.
It’s the power to keep growing,
To see a light in the darkest night.
Let the river flow.

It’s the power of the laughter,
The power of the tears.
A stream of understanding,
It’ll always run, and help us overcome.
Let the river flow.

When tomorrow rises like a mountain,
Let the river flow, let the river flow.
