let the river run

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. silver cities rise

the morning lights

the streets that meet 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 dark'ning dawn. it'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 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.
