Call - In The River Lyrics
When I was quite youngI had learned to fearI was taought to listenBut not to hearFrom my mothers armsI was cruelly tornAnd they whipped my assOn the day I was bornLittle brother diedAt the age of fiveThey said, he lost his soul, he was notBaptizedBut the river flowsAnd the heavens cryAnd well all be drownedIn the river, in the riverIn the river, in the riverI remember my sisterOn her saddest dayWhen the boy she lovedHad been called awaySeems he gave his lifeIn a foreign landStill my sister criesShe never understandsNow the world is hardAnd the cowards lieAnd the fool loves warAnd the gentle dieBut the river flowsAnd the heavens cryAnd well all be drownedIn the river, in the riverIn the river, in the riverWell, we built a damWhen the first rains fellWe built it highAnd we built it wellBut the waters roseLike a beast from hellNow my house is goneAnd the town as wellSo we gather hereFor a silent prayerFor the lives we lostAnd the love we sharedStill the river flowsAnd the heavens cryAnd well all be foundIn the river, in the riverIn the river, in the river
