Parable Of The River Songtext
von David Phelps

There once was a kingdom in the fairest of lands
Fed by a river so true
And all of the kingdom drew life from its waters
In beauty and wisdom it grew

For high in the mountains, the tiniest brook
Gave its life to a stream
The streams flowed together and came to the river
To join and sing

Flow to the river
Hear the waters cry
"We must flow to the river
To keep this kingdom alive"

Outside the kingdom lay dry barren land
In spite of the river so true
The life in its water was there for the taking
No one drew


So the river cried out to the brooks and the streams
"Come carve out a pathway to me
And together, we′ll rush through this dry desert land
With the song of spring"

Flow to the river
Hear the waters cry
"We must flow to the river
To keep this kingdom alive"
Flow to the river

Oh, my soul longs to flow with the tiniest brook
I'll give my life to receive
My place in the river that feeds the kingdom
And calls to me

Flow to the river
Hear the waters cry
"We must flow to the river
To keep this kingdom alive"

Flow to the river
Hear the waters cry
"We must flow to the river (I wanna flow, I need to flow)
To keep this kingdom alive"


Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow to the river now

Flow to the river (hear the waters cry)
Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow to the river
Flow, hear the waters cry
Flow, keep this kingdom alive
Flow
