lyrics

PILGRIM

river wash the dust
show me trust and cleanse the sorrow
i come to you a pilgrim
i'm weary from the road

river wash the dust
adjust my sense of being
the pages are so tattered
in the volume of this soul
i come to you a drifter
down the backstreets of america
i've seen so many people
with hunger in their eyes
ribbon wind through time
electrickling current
remind me of the reason
we got to keep on trying
i know the times are strange
take me back to the silence
help me summon the patience
this old world sorely needs
when you cool my body and clear my fever
sunlight breaks into silver slivers
with your current and your movement
you balance-giver...
river do you know the good you help us grow?

so river sound round the bend
send your song to the ocean
river carry me home as you roam through rolling valleys
i know you change the land
you move the rocks and you shift the boundaries
you help the world of man understand
this land is sacred
i come to you a warrior
grateful for sanctuary...
