When The River Meets The Sea Songtext
von Matt Nathanson

When the mountain touches the valley
All the clouds are taught to fly
As our souls will leave this land most peacefully
Though our minds are filled with questions
In our hearts we′ll understand
When the river meets the sea


Like a flower that has blossomed
In the dry and barren sand
We are born and born again most gracefully
Though the winds of time will take us
With a sure and steady hand
When the river meets the sea

Patience, my daughter, and patience, my son
In the sweet and final hour
Truth and justice will be done

Like a baby when it is sleeping
In its loving mother's arms
What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery
But his life will find a purpose
And in time, she′ll understand
When the river meets the sea
When the river meets the almighty sea
