River of Life Songtext
von Premiata Forneria Marconi & Mauro Pagani

River of life
Rain was your birth
Gathered deep (Search and seep)
Beneath the earth
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
Stretch your hands (
River roll
Follow your star (A-a-a-a)

There's a city
There′s a bridge

Ships and barges
Are there along your banks (Dark rusty hearts)
Waste and poison
Cloy where once men drank

Forget the pain
From rain to rain
Journey's end
Is surely not far (A-a-a-a)
