LET THE RIVER RUN
We're com-ing to the edge, run-ning on the wa-ter
coming through the fog, your sons and daugh-ters.
Let the riv-er run, let all the dream-ers wake the na-tion.
Come,___ the new Je- ru - sa - lem.
Sil-ver cit-ies rise; the morn-ing lights the streets that lead them.
And si - rens call them on with a song.
It's ask - ing for the tak - ing, trem - bling, sha-ak - ing.__
Oh,________ my heart is ach - ing.
we're com-ing to the edge, run-ning on the wa-ter,
com-ing through the fog, your sons and daugh-ters.
We,____ the great and small,_____stand on a star
and blaze a trail____ of de - sire through the dark - 'ling_____dawn.
It's ask - ing for the tak - ing. Come run with me now;
the sky is the col-or of blue you've nev-er e-ven seen in the eyes of your lov-er
Oh,__
my heart is ach - ing. We're com-ing to the edge, run-ning on the wa-ter
coming through the fog, your sons and daugh-ters.
ask - ing for the tak - ing, trem - bling, sha-ak - ing.__
Oh,________ my heart is ach - ing.
We're com-ing to the edge, run-ning on the wa-ter
coming through the fog, your sons and daugh-ters.
Let the riv-er run, let all the dream-ers wake the na-tion.
Come,___ the new Je- ru - sa - lem.
