Amazon the Liffey and the shimmer and the ripple
The Volga and the Fergus the Tagus and the Nile
Uisce in the Shannon and the Chico Colorado
Waikato Rio Grande the ripple in the tide
The gully and a gushing and an ebbing and a flowing
Irrawaddy Pilcomayo Mississippi and the Lee
Trickily-oozing in the Lagan Orinoco and Zmbezi
Ubangi and the Congo the Mackenzie to the Sea
A pooling and a pouring and a flooding and a flushing
From the Purus to Parana from the Tigris to the Thames
Guadiana Guadalquiver Brahmaputra Colorado
And the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee and the Seine
Surging and a-showering and a-spouting and a-spilling
In the Albany the Oder the Ural and the Ooze
Dordogne and the Danube and Dnieper and the Dodder
Paraguay and Tokachi and Shinano Vera Cruz
Amazon the Liffey and the Shimmer and the ripple
the Volga and the Fergus the Tagus and the Nile
The Heart will find a Home the Ship will find a Harbor
A haven for the soul until the storms subside
But when the warmer wind blows
And when the golden light glows
We face into the dawn and float out on the tide
Fire may burn and the sky may thunder
Heroes crumble and the sun may fall
As the river circles on its endless journey
I will follow you.

the Volga and the Fergus the Tagus and the Nile
We sail into the sun, our hope is the horizon
And just as we've begun, it seems that we've arrived
An everlasting journey-
A hungering and yearning
Around the river runs and rushes through our lives
Fire may burn and the sky may thunder
Heroes crumble and the sun may fall
As the river circles on its endless journey
I will follow you
