River Runs High

River runs high
River runs low
Day after day
She ebbs and flows
Carves the way
As the years unfold
River runs high
River runs low

Muddy water rises to test the levy hold
To use a short-lived crisis to strengthen the mortal soul
The scar mark of high water and the layers left exposed
Invites the hand to ease its grip and let go of control

River runs high
River runs low
Day after day
She ebbs and flows
Carves the way
As the years unfold
River runs high
River runs low

When the waters recede we meet chaos to explore
Danger lurks in the darkness and strangles the forlorn
As overwhelm clutches urgency, solidarity is born
You help me carry my debris, I'll help you lift yours

River runs high
River runs low
Day after day
She ebbs and flows
Carves the way
As the years unfold
River runs high
River runs low

If the waters run dry, cracked earth threatens drought
Dust settles on our selfish schemes and forces a better route
Together calloused hands will find the way to live without
We hold out hope that the watershed will wash away our doubt

River runs high
River runs low
Day after day
She ebbs and flows
Carves the way
As the years unfold
River runs high
River runs low
River runs high
River runs low
Day after day
She ebbs and flows
Carves the way
As the years unfold
River runs high
River runs low
River runs high
River runs low
River runs high
River runs low
River runs high
The river runs low
