Brian Eno & David Byrne - The River lyrics

I'm standing on the stage I'm working in a restaurant I make a decent wage- and I- Will sing into the microphone The river rise up & flows above the interstate Beyond the schools and shops- There's no way to communicate The water's moving on Beyond the lies and hypocrites I'm thinking of a song I need you to remember it The forest is alive It asks us to participate We lifted up our eyes To promise and reciprocate We fell down on our knees For ev'ry human being—— One sad day I will fly away And one sad day I will tip toe away Oooh But a change is gonna come Like Sam Cooke sang in 63 The river sings a song- to me- On ev'ry St Cecillia's day So when I was reborn I went back to the restaurant The river's moving on- from here- To sing it's crazy symphony I'll go home- where you are right in front of me.
