There inside my dream
I heard the river roar
I stumbled through the darkened mist
But I could not find the shore
Then a voice within the mist
Said, "tell me what do you seek?"
I said, "I have a mighty thirst
But I feel so tired and weak"
He said, "I am the river
Full of power and truth
You've been looking outside yourself
When it's there inside of you"
Oh-oh-oh
And the river will flow
The river will flow
Through all of the times of your life
The river will flow
Oh, and the river is love
The river is peace
And the river will flow through the hearts
Of those who believe
So put your hand in mine
Oh, put your hand in mine
And let us all go down
And kneel by the river's side
We'll cry our tears of joy
Cry our tears of pain
We'll let them fall down from our eyes
To be washed in the sacred stream
Even the secret tears
Buried in our memories
Let them all be swept away
To the depths of the endless sea
Oh-oh-oh
And the river will flow
The river will flow
Through all of the times of your life
The river will flow
Ooh, the river is love
The river is peace
And the river will flow through the hearts
Of those who believe
Let it flow on down
Come on let it flow down
Gotta let it flow, my Lord
Streams of mercy flowing down
Flow, the river will flow
(Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Through all of the times of your life
The river will flow
And the river is love
The river is peace
Ooh, and the river will flow through the hearts
Of those who believe
Gonna let it flow, now, now
Ooh, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I can feel it, feel it, feel Your streams
Oh Lord
Ooh!
Oh the mercy flowing down
The river will flow
Ooh, let Your love flow down
Ooh, it is Your love flowing down
Falling down
