A River That Flows Forever
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Danny Glover - over singing]
When your hero falls from grace, all fairy tales are uncovered
Myth exposed and pain magnified, the greatest pain uncovered
You taught me to be strong, but I'm confused to see you so weak.
You say never to give up, and it hurts to see you welcome defeat.
When your hero falls so do the stars, and so does the pereception of tomorrow
Without my hero, theres only me alone, to deal with my sorrow
Your heart ceases to work, and your soul is not happy at all
What are you expected to do, when your only hero falls
[Afeni Shakur - over singing]
As long as some suffer, the river flows forever
As long as there is pain, the river flows forever
As strong as a smile can be, the river will flow forever
And as long as you are with me, we'll ride the river together..
..And as long as you are with me, we'll ride the river together
[singing - over chanting]
We'll ride.. the river together, as long as.. you are with me
The river.. will flow forever, as long as.. you are with me
The river.. will flow forever, as long as.. you are with me
