Let the River Run

Let 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 song

It'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 daughters

We the great and small

stand on a star

and blaze a trail of desire

through the darkening dawn

It's asking for the taking

Come run with me now

the sky is the colour of blue

you've never even seen

in the eyes of your lover

Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge

running on the water

coming through the fog

your sons and daughters

It'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 daughters

Let the river run

let all the dreamers

wake the nation

Come, the New Jerusalem
