Lyrics

Human River

I was born to sing the song of my people
Travel the world around
Destined to see myself in everyone
Black or white or yellow and brown

I followed my star, 'til I found a new home
In the land of the midnight sun
Born to spread the message of love
And the work is far from done

I know I'm not alone in this calling
We're a tribe of a million and growing
Flowing like a river
A mighty human river called love

Al Capone tried to rule Chicago
Hitler tried to conquer the world
Now there is a clown sitting up on his golden throne
Saying things that make you wanna hurl

But I can see a new world comin'
A world free from fear and hatred
A wonderful world, living in peace
Where every life is sacred

I know I'm not alone in this calling
We're a tribe of a million and growing
Flowing like a river
A mighty human river called love

I know I'm not alone in this calling
We're a tribe of a million and growing
Flowing like a river
A mighty human river called love

I know I'm not alone in this calling
We're a tribe of a million and growing
Flowing like a river
A mighty human river called love
