Kero Kero Bonito - The River lyrics

[Refrain] Holy mother Receive our hearts in your arms And let our souls pass The day the rain returns again Holy mother Receive our hearts in your arms And let our souls pass The day the rain returns again [Verse] We pass down our wisdom After sunshine comes thunder The longer the drought The heavier the clouds Collecting water in glass Counting the days against the crops that last A dwarf shoot yawns at the sky Daring a stratonimbus in the vicinity to spit on it [Chorus] When Earth is submerging And heaven is open The river will carry all of us to Where we belong [Post-Chorus] But then a shadow is cast Over the fields a shower first Then a torrent crashes down Releasing the jungle swelling in the ground And as was foretold our time is out [Refrain] Holy mother Receive our hearts in your arms And let our souls pass The day the rain returns again Holy mother Receive our hearts in your arms And let our souls pass The day the rain returns again Holy mother Receive our hearts in your arms And let our souls pass The day the rain returns again Holy mother Receive our hearts in your arms And let our souls pass The day the rain returns again [Verse] We pass down our wisdom After sunshine comes thunder The longer the drought The heavier the clouds [Chorus] When Earth is submerging And heaven is open The river will carry all of us to Where we belong And no-one shall be left over (Where we belong) For the river’s too strong (Where we belong) I trust mother to know (Where we belong) So watch the raindrops
