The River - Uriah Heep

River, rising to hide

Across the midnight

Wanderin' westward by daylight

Take us and lead us to tomorrow

As fast as you come and can flow

River, you’re windin'

An unending rhythm

The sooner keep movin' to warn him

The spirit that keeps us from sinking

Guide us from going astray

Point us a way to a shoreline ahead

Through the mist and the fog

Of this valley of death

Too many years we have

Walked in a sleep

Now we’re awaken

And ready fo flee

River, we hitchhikers beggin' for mercy

Survive us from yesterday’s curses

Don’t damn us before you receive us

We’re needin' your face and your trust
