| [00:01.33] |
|
| [00:41.67] |
I was born by a river |
| [00:48.90] |
Rolling past a town |
| [00:56.14] |
Given no direction |
| [01:03.01] |
Just told to keep my head down |
| [01:10.67] |
As I took my position |
| [01:17.85] |
A man fired a gun |
| [01:25.46] |
I was so steeped in tradition |
| [01:29.88] |
That I could not run |
| [01:50.41] |
I was raised by a river |
| [01:57.28] |
Weaned upon the sky |
| [02:03.58] |
And in the mirror of the waters |
| [02:10.38] |
I saw myself learn to cry |
| [02:17.56] |
As my tears hit the surface |
| [02:24.30] |
I saw what had been done |
| [02:31.35] |
I gave feet to my freedom |
| [02:35.28] |
And I did run |
| [02:55.75] |
Someday later |
| [03:01.73] |
I saw the writing in the dust |
| [03:09.21] |
It told me how I should travel |
| [03:16.89] |
It told me who I was |
| [03:45.28] |
I ran far from the river |
| [03:51.77] |
Far as I could see |
| [03:57.83] |
And as the sun hit my shoulders |
| [04:04.31] |
I felt it burning me |
| [04:11.05] |
How I longed for the waters |
| [04:17.66] |
As the fire raged |
| [04:24.21] |
How I longed for the river |
| [04:28.39] |
As I aged |
| [04:46.74] |
I will die by a river |
| [04:52.85] |
As it rolls away |
| [04:59.16] |
Bury me in the nighttime |
| [05:05.71] |
Do not waste the day |
| [05:11.76] |
High above the waters |
| [05:18.06] |
That roll on to the sea |
| [05:24.24] |
All the angels in heaven will |
| [05:28.42] |
Laugh at me |
| [05:30.42] |
They will laugh at me |
| [05:33.23] |
They will laugh at me |
| [05:36.22] |
They will laugh at me |
| [06:04.37] |
My life was naught but a river |
| [06:14.10] |
Rolling through my brain |
| [06:25.02] |
Made of so many teardrops |
| [06:36.00] |
Made of so much pain |
