River of God

The soldiers came by land and ore My children are their children Children of war Their's is a hunter sun A war long begun Turn your ploughs into guns What is cannot be undone Going down to the river To hear her song To the river Where we belong Open up your wings above the raging sea Way up there you can be Anything you want to be They burnt my sister in the market square Brother asked not why but where You kissed your fallen brother's check Held him back from longing sleep I wish I could be the man I wanted to be, son But I surrendered to the darkness so very early on Brother was curious that I had no past Was I the first but also the last I said my future is infinite, sculpted by will But the present is a meal quarantined from the kill Going down to the river Where the living meets the dead To the river Where the living meets the dead Going down to the river to hear her song Down the river that we wind along Open up your wings above the raging sea Way up there you can be Anything you want to be
