When The River Meets The Sea - John Denver

When the mountain touches the valley, all the clouds are taught to fly

as our souls will leave this land most peacefully

Though our minds be filled with questions, in our hearts we’ll understand

when the river meets the sea

Like a flower that has blossomed in the dry and barren sand

We are born and born again most gracefully

Thus the winds of time will take us with a sure and steady hand

when the river meets the sea

Patience, my brother and patience, my son, in that sweet and final hour

truth and justice will be done

Like a baby when it is sleeping in its loving mother’s arms

what a newborn baby dreams is a mystery

But his life will find a purpose and in time he’ll understand

when the river meets the sea.

When the river meets the almighty sea
