Idina Menzel - American River lyrics

Some people seek adventure Some people long for rest Still others search for wisdom When our Land's put to the test Tears of challenge, joy, and love The river knows them well And no matter what we're dreaming of The river takes us in its spell With timeless tales to tell What tales to tell I've got a wish tonight I've got a hope for us to share And as those rivers flow I dream of being with you where We can finally be One nation truly free Flowing the river Flowing like the many rivers Flowing like the many rivers To one sea One sea Some rivers will run slowly Some race to reach the end The course straight as an arrow Or it snakes from bend to bend Through long nights, through golden days The river journeys on In a winter chill or summer haze The river bids our cares be gone There's safe harbor come the dawn Let's breathe the dawn And I've got a wish tonight I've got a hope for us to share And as those rivers flow I dream of being with you where We can finally be One nation truly free Flowing the river Flowing like the many rivers Flowing like the many rivers To one sea Like ribbons through the land They connects us to each other When we seek to understand The river comforts like a mother And along the river's shore We all become part of the story Oh, I've got a wish tonight (I've got a wish) I've got a hope for us to share And as those rivers flow I dream of being with you where We can finally be One nation truly free Flowing the river Flowing like the many rivers Flowing like the many rivers To one sea (The river tells a story) (Of a people and a land)
