He went down to the river
And this is what she said:
I look simple yet I'm complex
I do not distract
I of am the same color
As the sands I was built on
My shape is beautiful
[Verse:]
From a stream she cried me a river
and at the river she showed me my dream
only peace could deliver
the son of sons and let him rescue me anyway
[Refrain:]
Slave to the river
Following no sinner
Slave to the river
Following no sinner
Teardops gonna flow away
Sunshine gonna bow the rain
When the smoke cleared
she was standing there
There was no more fear on the battlefield
Tell me who is fit to judge a man
That was there from before time began
The ancient spirit
from the river bank
babtunde son of a great man
that was known to be a givin' one
Living son of a mother that is beautiful
oh I feel so powerful
When I flow end...
[refrain]
[Verse]
Follow the one
and only true don gogon
"lay" was born from the soil
that was planted by the "gwan
I am the son of sons of chamnuka and
Nehanda hrere true kwere kwere african
who's knocking at my door and
want fi offer me american
brainwash my nation to amageddon
with nuclear science, technology and
money charm
but soon and very soon I ah know
that their day will come
prophecied in revelations
cry me a river where peace sees
the morning sun
and the resurrection of leader and swan
[Refrain]
