The River

Holy mother
 Receive our hearts in your arms
 And let our souls pass
 The day the rain returns again
 Holy mother
 Receive our hearts in your arms
 And let our souls pass
 The day the rain returns again
 We pass down our wisdom
 After sunshine comes thunder
 The longer the drought
 The heavier the clouds
 Collecting water in glass
 Counting the days against the crops that last
 A dwarf shoot yawns at the sky
 Daring a stratonimbus in the vicinity to spit on it
 When Earth is submerging
 And heaven is open
 The river will carry all of us to
 Where we belong
 But then a shadow is cast
 Over the fields a shower first
 Then a torrent crashes down
 Releasing the jungle swelling in the ground
 And as was foretold our time is out
 Holy mother
 Receive our hearts in your arms
 And let our souls pass
 The day the rain returns again
 Holy mother
 Receive our hearts in your arms
 And let our souls pass
 The day the rain returns again
 Holy mother
 Receive our hearts in your arms
 And let our souls pass
 The day the rain returns again
 Holy mother
 Receive our hearts in your arms
 And let our souls pass
 The day the rain returns again
 We pass down our wisdom
 After sunshine comes thunder
 The longer the drought
 The heavier the clouds
 When Earth is submerging
 And heaven is open
 The river will carry all of us to
 Where we belong
 And no-one shall be left over
 (Where we belong)
 For the river's too strong
 (Where we belong)
 I trust mother to know
 (Where we belong)
 So watch the raindrops
