A River Flows in the Desert Lyrics by So Long Forgotten

Things We Can See And Things We Cannot

2009

And it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
The dry creek below your feet will fill with water and lead to the sea I’m afraid your peasant head still rolls around in the riverbed
As justice and mercy come up to meet your legs
And are you a small bird trapped
This land a mighty redemptive hand
Far too vast to trust that it would direct your path?
Look at the roots extend from the banks, a ladder of truth to set you on your way
Look upon what you can’t touch
Pray the ground you stand is love
(2x)
'Cause a river flows in the desert, I swear, somewhere
Oh and there is life in this desert, I swear, I swear
There may be beasts drinking from the river
But we aren’t scared, no, we aren’t scared
’Cause there is peace, oh there's peace hiding in this desert
And the river will take us there, it'll take us there, it'll take us there
Oh, the river will take us there
And oh, when we get there
Oh, when we get there
