Stand in that River
Come and stand in that river
Current gentle and slow, send
your troubles down water
Down on backwater flow
X2
Current gentle and slow, send
your troubles down water
Down on backwater flow
X2
I went to the river
But the river was dry
The dust strolled up
Into my eyes
I was blinded by a
A sorrow so deep
That I might lose my soul to keep
Come and stand in . . .
When you stand in that river
Angels sing in your head secrets
Beyond every water
Down on backwater flow
Come and stand in . . .
Tell me sister, tell me brother
Where does that water flow
It flows down to the great water
Down on backwater flow
Come and stand in . . .
Angels sing in your head
Secrets beyond every worry
Dreams beyond every dread
