Lyrics:
River, flowing through the veins of the earth you sustain
River, life of life itself
Within, without—
The source and the well
Oh, the current could carry us home
The current could carry us home
River, strength without the force
The watercourse way of peace
River, the innocence of trust
A mother’s love—
Her tears fill you up as
The current carries us home
The current carries us home
We will stand
With the defenders of land
We will stand
For the Giver of Life
We will stand
Where oil flows dark as the night—
A dark night
River, river
River, river…
