Lyrics

The river is a healer, the river is a sage
The river knows no end and the river feels no age

The river is a leader every single day
It’s living in the moment and it always finds a way

Chorus:
Water heal my body
Water heal my soul
When I go down down to the water
By the water I feel whole

River calls me over – it’s calling out my name
In the day and in the night I hear that river all the same

It’s calling me over, calling out my pain
Oh a river gathers tears just like a river gathers rain

Chorus

The river is a traveller – always on the go
Oh a river never worries if it’s fast or if it’s slow

River take me to where I need to go
And I will just relax and let the river flow

Chorus

    Are we able to download the bass part as well as it doesn’t give me that option. Thanks

      Sorry about that Ana – I just fixed it so it’s now downloadable.

  • Is it possible to purchase the music for The River?

      Hi Jack, I’m sorry I don’t have music for this. I did the arrangement by ear and taught the song by oral tradition. You could try reaching out to Coco Love Alcorn to see if she has a sheet music arrangement she can share…
