The River Unbroken

Waiting for the train to come

I keep a'waiting for the train to come

Dreamin' of the river and the rising sun

I keep thinkin' 'bout the world to come

My life packed up in a suitcase

Old man staring from a doorway

My hope tarries in the distance

Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken

Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow

Waitin' for the train to come

I keep waitin' for the train to come

Keepin' my appointment with the one who lives

In the heart of everything that is

All night sleepin' in a station

My god, it's hard not to be impatient

I watch through the windows of forgiveness

I cry but my word's my only witness

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken

Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken

Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow

Sometimes i feel i can't go on, i can't go on

I get so tired, all passion's gone

My heart, my head, my arms, my legs, i get so tired

Without the strength to crawl away

Then something breaks inside my soul, my strength is gone

That spirit's finally taking hold

My ears can hear, my eyes can see

Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken

Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken

Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is, where is the river unbroken

Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow

Fade:

Waiting for the train to come

I keep waiting for the train to come...
