THE RIVER

Words and Music by Avi Hoffman

I'm lookin' out at the River and what do I see ?
Pollution and garbage enveloping me
I'm thinkin' - What can I do to make this all change ?
I'm hearin' millions of voices sayin' -
"Life is so strange"

I hear the birds cryin' - I see the fish dyin'
I see some people tryin'
To keep the River of life flowin' on
I see the River of life flowin on
Let's keep the River of life flowin' on
Let's keep the River of life flowin' on

I'm lookin' into your faces and what do I see ?
Empty expressions lookin' right back at me
We'll have to make a decision - We'll have to be bold
Or else the River will die and the earth will get cold

I hear the birds cryin' - I see the fish dyin'
I see some people tryin'
To keep the River of life flowin' on
I see the River of life flowin on
Let's keep the River of life flowin' on
Let's keep the River of life flowin' on

The River is callin' - It's callin' your name
It doesn't care who you are -
Cause we're all one and the same
The River needs cleaning - Whatever the cost
Or else we'll DIE with the River
The war will be lost

I hear the birds cryin' - I see the fish dyin'
I see some people tryin'
To keep the River of life flowin' on
I see the River of life flowin on
Let's keep the River of life flowin' on
Let's keep the River of life flowin' on (repeat)
