River Runs Dry Lyrics

What happens to the people when the river runs dry?

Do they sit at home, do they cry, cry, cry?

Do they fill up the water with the tears from their eyes?

What happens, oh, to all the people?

What happens to the people when the water don't come?

Do they stay at home, do they pray for the flood?

Pack up their bags, just run, run, run?

What happens, oh, to all the people?

When the fields dry out and water don't flow

Where do all the people go?

Rain won't fall and the crops won't grow

Where do all the people go now?

Big wide river bringing water to the people

I've been praying, doing all I know

Running dry, got no water from the river

River left me, don't know where she'll go

Big wide river bringing water to the people

I've been praying, doing all I know

Running dry, got no water from the river

River left me, don't know where she'll go

When the fields dry out and water don't flow

Where do all the people go?

When the rain won't fall and the crops won't grow

Where do all the people go now?
