There are voices in the mirror And there are faces at the door And they open on the rivers We've never seen before And are there choices for the Sparrow Or does he only fly High above the rivers Pulling you and I? There are strange rivers Rivers that you can not see And there are strange rivers Who know our destiny And there are strange rivers And we're sailors You and me And he could have been a builder He could have been the one To turn his dreams to steel Cathedrals in the sun And he could have been a builder But then he bought the gun There are forces in that river That keep him on the run There are strange rivers Rivers that you can not see And there are strange rivers Who know our destiny
And there are strange rivers And we're sailors You and me Did you ever turn the corner And you wondered why you did 'Cause you haven't been that way, now Since you were just a kid And nothing really happened But then you've got to say That you wonder what would've happened Had you gone the other way There are strange rivers Rivers that you can not see And there are strange rivers Who know our destiny And there are strange rivers And we're sailors You and me For there are strange rivers There are strange rivers And there are strange rivers There are strange rivers Oh, there are strange rivers There are strange rivers Feel the river See the river Be the river
