I was born by the river Raised by the sea Baptized in muddy water To drown the devil in me I’m going back to the river Down to the stream I’m gonna follow that water And find my dream
Where St. John be waiting on me To wash my sins away Hey St. Christopher pray for me Cos baby I’m on my way
Where the rivers flow Where the rivers flow Just around the bend I’ll find my rainbows end Maybe then I’ll know Where the rivers flow
You know the gypsy woman told me About a river of gold Full of dreams for the asking In the valley of souls So I called to the captain Come on take my hand I’m gonna follow the water To the Promised Land
Where St. John be waiting on me To wash my sins away Hey St. Christopher pray for me Cos baby I’m on my way
Where the rivers flow Where the rivers flow Just around the bend I’ll find my rainbows end And maybe then I’ll know Where the rivers flow
