down by the river in the town by the river they need our help close to the river I've seen friends of the river now they are all gone down by the river in the town by the river they toll the bell
and if we give them what they need maybe they survive oh let us praise the holy sea maybe they'll survive so let us give them what they need and maybe they'll survive maybe they'll survive
into the river they jumped into the river to save your souls in the town by the river some wise men they shiver because they are told to ask the old river if it is right to deliver just sing their song
and if we give them what they need maybe they survive oh let us praise the holy sea maybe they'll survive so let us give them what they need and maybe they'll survive maybe they'll survive
drown in the river would you drown in the river to find souls of glass from the town by the river hear the screams make you shiver do they change your fate yes you are a believer when it rises the river sigh press and give birth
and if we give them what they need maybe they survive oh let us praise the holy sea maybe they'll survive so let us give them what they need and maybe they'll survive
