 River of Souls
I want to find a taste of something
That will kill all the evil inside
A sip of the water from the river of souls
Or a drink from the bottle that don't ever run dry
A cup dipped up from the rocky shoal
That never runs out with the tide

I hear the singing of the women
That gather at the river each day
They sing of the hope for a day to come
When they don't live in fear for anyone
A new kind of water in the river will run
To wash their troubles away

The river runs down from heaven above
They scrub and they rinse but it never gets clean
Carries their souls to the deep sea of love
Far up the river where they've never seen
Under the gardens of the peaceful land
There's a cedar tree with his roots in the ground
But the people above don't understand
And he never tells them of the secret he's found
Everything out of the earth that has grown
A secret of the truth in the deep dark well
Everything under the ground's always known
The secret that the tree of the earth never tell

There's a rage in the fire of the burning sun
And fire in the bottle that you're drinking from
Do you ever wonder where the river will run
When the fire in the day is done
When the peaceful night has come
