LET THE RIVER RUN (The New Jerusalem)
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughtersLet the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.Silver cities rise
the morning lights the streets that lead them
and sirens call them on with a songIt's asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is achingWe're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughtersWe the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the darkening dawnIt's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your loverOh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughtersIt's asking for the taking
trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughtersLet the river run
let all the dreamers
wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem
