By the River Songtext
von Laura Osnes

From the icy bridge, I hear the river
Flowing out beyond the open bay
Deep beneath the waves, a voice is calling
Come down to me, it seems to say

I will understand your frozen journey
In the bends and elbows of my flow
Come to me and be my close companion
We′ll be as one, in what we know
What we know

People will be born
People will die
As before you were born
And long after you
Young ones will find love
Hand will find hand
We will flow, with no end
On and on, on and on


River calling
Come join my journey
I will ease your burden
I will be your rest
River calling
Come be my lover
I will bring you freedom
Flow along with me
To the sea

She sings to me
She sings to me

See the snowflakes melting on my surface
As I softly lap against the shore
Take a step and come to me, my darling
Here in my arms, you'll cry no more
Cry no more

People will be born
People will die
As before you were born
And long after you
Young ones will find love
Hand will find hand
We will flow, with no end
On and on, on and on


River calling
Come join my journey
I will ease your burden
I will be your rest
River calling
Come be my lover
I will bring you freedom
Flow along with me, to the sea.
