As the River Flows Songtext
von Wallis Bird

And as the river flows
Well, you and I are made of water
Surging into history
Universal mystery
All in all, we cannot choose
The life that we were given
So we move across the land, to sky, to sea
Looking for more than we were offered
Are we not allowed?
Are you still where your mother pushed you out?
I doubt that this is true
If you can move, then I will too
Too, too


To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
To the land, to the mouth of the sea
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Oh

What are you scared of?
Aren′t you brave enough
To pave a basic decency for humankind?
A baby lost its family, lost its life
Don't turn your, don′t turn your face away
Don't tell me borders are for jobs and civic order
When I know you see it differently
You want your palate wiped, you want it clean
Walk a mile, walk two thousand miles
Walk three thousand miles to you


To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
To the land, to the mouth of the sea
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
To safety, to safety, to safety, to safety
