Songtext As the river flows Wallis Bird

As the river flows

And as a river flows well you and I are made of water
Surging into history, universal mystery
All in all we cannot chose
The life that we were given, so we move
Across the land to sky to sea
Looking for more than we were offered
Are we not allowed?
Are you still where your mother pushed you out?
I doubt that this is true
If you can move then I will too

To to
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
To the land, to the mouth of the sea
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
Overcoming mystery, overcoming mystery

What are you scared of, aren’t you brave enough
To pave a basic decency for human kind?
A baby lost it’s family, lost it’s life
Don’t turn your - don’t turn your face away!
Don’t tell me borders are for jobs and civic order
When I know you see it differently
You want your palate white, you want it cleaned

Walk a mile
Walk 2000 miles
Walk 3000 miles, you

To to
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
To the land, to the mouth of the sea
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety

To the land, to the land
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety
To the land, to the land
To the land, to the sea
To safety, to safety, to safety

Overcoming mystery, overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery, overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery, overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery, overcoming mystery
Overcoming mystery, overcoming mystery
