The River Unbroken

[Verse 1]

Waiting for the train to come

I keep waiting for the train to come

Dreaming of the river and the rising sun

I keep thinkin 'bout the world to come

[Verse 2]

My life packed up in a suitcase

Old man staring from a doorway

My hope tarries in the distance

Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

Where is the river unbroken?

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

When will the whistle blow?

[Verse 3]

Waiting for the train to come

I keep waiting for the train to come

Keeping my appointment with the one who lives

In the heart of everything that is

[Verse 4]

All night sleeping in a station

My God, it's hard not to be impatient

I watch through the windows of forgiveness

I cry, but my word's my only witness

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

Where is the river unbroken?

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

When will the whistle blow?

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

Where is the river unbroken?

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

When will the whistle blow?

[Verse 5]

Sometimes I feel I can't go on

I get so tired, all passion's gone

My heart, my head, my arms, my legs

Without the strength to crawl away

Then something breaks inside my soul

My strength is gone, that spirit's finally taking hold

My ears can't hear, my eyes can't see

Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

Where is the river unbroken?

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

When will the whistle blow?

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

Where is the river unbroken?

Oh-oh-oooh-oh

When will the whistle blow?

[Outro]

Waiting for the train to come

I keep waiting for the train to come
