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
   And the river is love
   The river is peace
   And the river will flow through the hearts
   of those who believe      So put your hands in mine
   Oh, put your hands in mine
   And let us all go down
   And kneel by the river's side
      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      And the river will flow
   The river will flow
   Through all of the times of your life
   The river will flow
   And the river is love
   The river is peace
   And the river will flow through the hearts
   of those who believe
