River Is Waiting
The river is waiting
Come rise up
A new day is coming
Come rise up
We?ll be sailing at first light
Come gather
Set our course for the crossing
Together
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
The river is waiting
I'm ready
To slip from this island
I'm ready
Gonna leave all my sorrows
Behind me
Lift my face to the new day
I?m rising
Oh, sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
