Let The River Flow

I was so thirsty out on the desert road

I longed for someone strong

To share my heavy load

Then a stranger bound for nowhere

Say i'll quench your thirsty soul

If you'll untap the love inside

And let the river flow.

The summer heat beat down

Upon the open land

The fields were hard and dry

The river never ran

Then a spirit from the heaven

Called down the perfect plan

To walk with him in faith each day

And love will rain on every man

Let the river flow

To the sea

There's a great big river in my heart

And it's bursting at the seams

Let the river flow

To the sea

There's a mighty ocean full of love

For you and me

I walked the mountain top

Where water freely flows

I've learned that on the path

Sometimes we just don't know

That deep within the valley

There calls an inner peace

And when we give in to the voice

We'll set the river free
