The River Lyrics & Tabs by Knight Area
The River
guitar chords lyrics
Out in the heights of snow-capped mountains
In barren wastes is where it springs to life
Its melting crystal raindrops fill a clear pond
Quenching birds and beasts that are enticed
Perfect beauty
A peaceful silence
Where streams gently meander downhill
Slowly growing
A majestic river
For centuries passing by as if time stood still
Flowing on
Towards the sun
A mighty river flowing from the highlands
Where nature rules a lost kingdom of peace
From the distant west into the world of mankind
A mighty river flowing from the highlands
Where nature rules a lost kingdom of peace
From the distant west into the world of mankind
Into the crowded cities in the east
It's clear waters
Turning darker
The factories pollute its shallow bed
Their children's future
Longtime forgotten
We wash our hands in innocence they said
Wanting more
They fight their war
