Let The River Flow

I was so thirsty out on the desert road
I longed for someone strong
To share my heavy load
Then a stranger bound for nowhere
Say i'll quench your thirsty soul
If you'll untap the love inside
And let the river flow.

The summer heat beat down
Upon the open land
The fields were hard and dry
The river never ran
Then a spirit from the heaven
Called down the perfect plan
To walk with him in faith each day
And love will rain on every man

Let the river flow
To the sea
There's a great big river in my heart
And it's bursting at the seams
Let the river flow
To the sea
There's a mighty ocean full of love
For you and me

I walked the mountain top
Where water freely flows
I've learned that on the path
Sometimes we just don't know
That deep within the valley
There calls an inner peace
And when we give in to the voice
We'll set the river free
