Lyrics

COME TO THE RIVER OF LIFE
by Frances Key

COME, COME TO THE RIVER OF LIFE (RPT)
AND BRING YOUR HARP AND BRING YOUR DRUM
AND BRING YOU DANCING SHOES
FOR WHEN WE SING, AND WHEN WE DANCE
WE CANNOT LIFT A GUN

COME, COME TO THE RIVER OF LIFE (RPT)
AND BRING YOUR MOM, AND BRING YOUR DAD
AND BRING YOUR FRIENDS WITH YOU
FOR WHEN WE SING, AND WHEN WE DANCE
WE GROW TO KNOW THE TRUTH

COME, COME TO THE RIVER OF LIFE (RPT)
BRING YOUR GUITAR, AND BRING YOUR FLUTE
AND BRING YOUR ENEMIES, TOO
FOR WHEN THEY SING AND WHEN THEY DANCE
THEY'LL COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH
COME...COME...COME....COME

REPEAT VERSES, VARIATIONS ON THEME

ENDING: SING A SONG OF PEACE FOR EVERYONE,
COME ALONG WITH ME, COME EVERYONE,
HOLD OUT YOUR HANDS TO ONE ANOTHER,
COME, MY FRIENDS...
