River Run Free

Here serene Field of green What a world I have seen Deep in shadow Deep in thought What was lost Still is sought From the mountains To the valleys To the bottom of the sea By the powers Of the flowers And that shadowed pre-dawn hour I beckon unto thee… River run free Return to me Meadow moon Sun at noon What a day May or June Deepest ocean Deepest well Seeking wisdom Finding hell Sometimes sad And sometimes mad And sometimes glad to be Words that rhyme Will sing in time When the weather is sublime I will sing them unto thee… River run free Return to me Mists dissolved Mystery solved See the season Spring or Fall Pouring rain Tears of pain What was lost Will be regained See the symbol Say the word Rolling river Sailing bird Words that rhyme Will sing in time When the weather is sublime I will sing them unto thee… River run free Return to me In the darkness In despair Smoke and memories Fill the air Hear the west wind Feel its breath Bringing magic Bringing death Call the spirits Call the rain For what was lost Will be regained Words that rhyme Will sing in time When the weather is sublime And I will sing to thee… River run free Return to me.
