Drop the feather in the river,
Drop the feather in the river.

What are you holding in your hand'
How will I help you to understand'
No treasure you find in your land is yours to hide away.

There is a stranger around the bend who will appreciate the sentiment,
Why don't you let it ride on the wind and drop the feather in'

Drop the feather in the river,
Drop the feather in the river, my friend,
Give your sentiment to the wind,
Give your sentiment to the wind.

Go down under to be restored,
Greet the white dove on the shore, where I will give you so much more than you could ever ask for.

Drop the feather in the river,
Drop the feather in the river, my friend,
Give your spirit up to the wind,
Give your spirit up to the wind,
To the wind.

Give the mercy wheel a whirl, (give the wheel a whirl)
Find, in your heart, the silver pearl, (love is the silver pearl)
There ain't no nothing in the world to keep forever.

Drop the feather in the river,
Drop the feather in the river again, again, again,
Give your spirit up to the wind,
Give your spirit up,
Give your spirit up to the wind,
To the wind,
To the wind.
