River of life
Rain was your birth
Gathered deep
Beneath the earth
Search and seep,
Hollow stone
Issue and flow
Virgin stream
Meander free
It's a long way to the sea
Caves and canyons
Stark prison walls
Swirl and hurl you
From white cascading falls
Across the plain
Sweep your course
River roll
Follow your star

There's a city
There's a bridge
Ships and barges
Dark rusty hearts
Feed cranes along your banks
Waste and poison
cloy where once men drank
Forget the pain
From rain to rain
Journey's end
Is surely not far
