Shari Ulrich - Rolling River lyrics

Yesterday the light was different Ever grey and green and gold We watched the days race quickly by And we let the rest unfold Then we saw fear on the horizon Thunder towards us like the wind We seal the doors and windows And we steel ourselves to win There's a rolling river to carry us home We are cold and weary But never alone Made of tears and courage Flesh and bone Oh we built this boat to carry us home All in turn we lead and follow Ever learning, never done Through the pain and wind and rain We dig and pull as one We are leaves upon the water We're survivors of the storm There's faith and trust in each of us And it keeps us steady on There's a rolling river to carry us on She is deep and mighty Stirring and strong Oh we ride her current And sing her song Oh we built this boat to carry us on There's a rolling river to carry us home We are cold and weary But never alone Made of tears and courage Flesh and bone Oh we built this boat to carry us home There's a rolling river to carry us on She is deep and mighty Stirring and strong Oh we ride her current And sing her song Oh we built this boat to carry us on
