Every River Songtext
It’s been said every man has a need to find his glory
Tooth and nail his fortune at any cost
But I see it plain in the fields laid out before me
All not gained in honest shall be lost
Oh the careless way we cast aside the cries of a stranger
What a ruthless age and it preys upon us all
Somewhere ‘neath the anguish and the anger
Sweet charity’s there just waiting on a call
Tooth and nail his fortune at any cost
But I see it plain in the fields laid out before me
All not gained in honest shall be lost
Oh the careless way we cast aside the cries of a stranger
What a ruthless age and it preys upon us all
Somewhere ‘neath the anguish and the anger
Sweet charity’s there just waiting on a call
Oh sister don’t you know it well
You can sow the seed but you just can’t tell
Oh from the father to the soldier's son
Love’s gonna keep them, every one
Oh let the hallelujah play
Sing it together in the old-time way
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
Can’t you hear the wretched wheels filled with disaster
Listen to the wreck and rumble of the mighty gears
Bolts of war they’re falling, falling faster everyday
All on a whim and a whisper in the tyrant’s ear
But we shall not cave to to a house of deception
We shall not cave to the kings living only for the crown
Steady on through the seas of desperation
Oh captain won’t you set that compass for the common ground
Oh sister don’t you know it well You can sow the seed but you just can’t tell
Oh from the father to the soldier's son
Love’s gonna keep them, every one
Oh let the hallelujah play
Sing it together in the old-time way
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
Oh sister don’t you know it well
You can sow the seed but you just can’t tell
Oh from the father to the soldier's son
Love’s gonna keep them, every one
Oh let the hallelujah play
Sing it together in the old-time way
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
You can sow the seed but you just can’t tell
Oh from the father to the soldier's son
Love’s gonna keep them, every one
Oh let the hallelujah play
Sing it together in the old-time way
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
Can’t you hear the wretched wheels filled with disaster
Listen to the wreck and rumble of the mighty gears
Bolts of war they’re falling, falling faster everyday
All on a whim and a whisper in the tyrant’s ear
But we shall not cave to to a house of deception
We shall not cave to the kings living only for the crown
Steady on through the seas of desperation
Oh captain won’t you set that compass for the common ground
Oh sister don’t you know it well You can sow the seed but you just can’t tell
Oh from the father to the soldier's son
Love’s gonna keep them, every one
Oh let the hallelujah play
Sing it together in the old-time way
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
Oh sister don’t you know it well
You can sow the seed but you just can’t tell
Oh from the father to the soldier's son
Love’s gonna keep them, every one
Oh let the hallelujah play
Sing it together in the old-time way
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
Every stone must fall, every fear must fade
Every river’s got to carry on
