There, inside my dream, I heard the river roar,
I stumbled through the darkened mist but I couldn't find the shore,
A voice within the mist said, "Tell me, what do you seek'"
I said, "I have a mighty thirst, but I feel so tired and weak,"
He said, "I am the river, full of power and truth, you've been looking outside yourself when it's there inside of you."

Oh, and the river will flow,
The river will flow,
Through all of the times of your life, the river will flow,
Oh, and the river is love, the river is peace,
And the river will flow through the hearts of those who believe.

So, put your hand in mine,
Oh, put your hand in mine,
And let us all go down and kneel by the riverside,
We'll cry our tears of joy, cry our tears of pain,
We'll let them fall down from our eyes to be washed in the sacred stream,
Even the secret tears, buried in our memories,
Let them all be swept away to the depths of the endless sea.

Oh, and the river will flow,
The river will flow,
Through all of the times of your life, the river will flow,
The river is love, and the river is peace,
And the river will flow through the hearts of those who believe.

Gotta let it flow down,
Come on, let it flow now,
Gotta let it flow now, Lord,
Streams of mercy flowing down.

And the river will flow, (gotta flow, flow)
The river will flow, (let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Through all of the times of your life, the river will flow,
And the river is love, the river is peace,
Oh, and the river will flow through the hearts of those who believe.

Gonna let it flow now, now,
Oh, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord,
I can feel, feel it, feel your stream, (the river is love)
Oh, the river is peace,
The river is love,
Oh, the river is peace,
The river will flow.

Oh, angel come down,
Oh, angel, love come down,
Falling down.
