Written in the River Lyrics

I was born upon the river bank

It's there I'd like to rest

The place where I was rooted from

A place forever blessed

Rivers carve their course on land

The architects of fate

These waterways made me believe

The plan the stars create

I was born upon thy bank, river

My blood flows in thy stream

Meandering forever

At the root of every dream

I was born upon thy bank, river

My blood flows in thy stream

Meandering forever

At the root of every dream

Lay my bones among the river-weeds

Lay my heart among the sand

All that I became and was

You hold it in your hands

When all is done, when all is past

Return me to the blue

Return me, river-bones at last

Where my soul will grow anew

I was born upon thy bank, river

My blood flows in thy stream

Meandering forever

At the root of every dream

I was born upon thy bank, river

My blood flows in thy stream

Meandering forever

At the root of every dream

You must wade where the river sings

To home my soul deliver

You must fulfil what was written

Written in the river

I was born upon thy bank, river

My blood flows in thy stream

Meandering forever

At the root of every dream

I was born upon thy bank, river

My blood flows in thy stream

Meandering forever

At the root of every dream

I was born upon thy bank, river

My blood flows in thy stream

Meandering forever

At the root of every dream
