Dear River Lyrics

Dear river, where do we go now

Now that your water's muddy

Your banks are straightened out

Dear river, I'm following you

Following where you lead

You know what to do, dear river

I'm following you from the Great Divide

Through cattail marsh, where herons hide

I'm following you, I'm following you

You'll make it down to the gulf one day

Reminding me we'll find a way

I'm following you, I'm following you

Dear river, where do we go now

Now that your water's muddy

Your banks are straightened out

Dear river, I'm following you

Following where you lead

You know what to do, dear river

I'm listening to the song your water sings

I start to hear new melodies

I'm listening to you, I'm listening to you

Dancing as your river rhythms speak

A steady hope, a patient peace

I'm listening to you, I'm listening to you

Dear river, where do we go now

Now that your water's muddy

Your banks are straightened out

Dear river, I'm following you

Following where you lead

You know what to do, dear river

River I think I've lost my way

But I can still hear mama say

Find the river, and it'll lead you back home

River guide all my friends

Who I've hurt, who I can't mend

And remind them that they are not alone

Dear river, where do we go now

Now that your water's muddy

Your banks are straightened out

Dear river, I'm following you

Following where you lead

You know what to do

Dear river, where do we go now

Now that your water's muddy

Your banks are straightened out

Dear river, I'm following you

Following where you lead

You know what to do, dear river

Dear river

Dear river

Dear river
