Premiata Forneria Marconi - River of Life lyrics

Rain was your birth Gathered deep Beneath the earth. Search and seep, Hollow stone Issue and flow Virgin stream Meander free It's a long way to the sea. Caves and canyons Stark prison walls Swirl and hurl you >From white cascading falls. Across the plain Sweep your course River roll Follow your star. There's a city There's a bridge. Ships and barges Dark rusty hearts Feed cranes along your banks. Waste and poison cloy where once men drank. Forget the pain >From rain to rain Journey's end Is surely not far ...
