River Whispers

I'll come undone, my wayward son
It's no easy street where I come from
Well, it's been so long since a cold dark night
I got the flame here and it's burning bright

Across the forests, across the sea
Life in the city ain't done much for me
Where the water's clearer I'll be bound
I've never lost and I've never found

And you're so far, far away from home, poor boy
You're so far from where you've been
Well, river whispers, carry me home
And let our bodies lay to rest

Where the gator swims, where the crane bird sings
Oh, mighty river, please pull me in
Be my hands, my guiding light
Where have you been all my life?

You never showed me any grace
The water hides tears from your face
And that's why I will always sing
I found my strength in suffering

And you're so far, far away from home poor boy
You're so far from where you've been
Well, river whispers, carry me home
And let our bodies lay to rest (Woo!)

And you're so far, far away from home poor boy
You're so far from where you've been
Well, river whispers, carry me home
River whispers, carry me home
River whispers, carry me home
And let our bodies lay to rest
