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…
