Oh the river flows
Where it takes us
Nobody knows
Climb the mountains reach for the sky
Embrace the beauty that is life
Oh the river flows
Where it takes us
No one really knows
You will harvest in your life
When you let truth be your guide
Every single day
We feed an addiction
This bureaucratic lie
Is beyond our description
All our leaders rule
By principles of greed
You can save a life
By burning your TV
A Land that we have stolen
And kept by spilling blood
We Import sweat and Oil
Export bombs and guns
A revolution built
On the backs of slaves
Strange that in a land of freedom
We build more prisons everyday

Mother earth do you feel
The damage that we do
Everyday that we live
Poison and pollute
Use your breath and your blood
To fuel our machines
Our destructive appetite grows
Ever more extreme

We try to run away
Lay waste to all we find
How can we trust the hand that would trash?
The cradle of life

Is it our human nature?
A pitiful disease
When we steal from the hungry (poor)
Ignoring all sovereignty
Stop the shooting, stop the killing
Which you say is in our defense
End erosion, of our rights
That persecute the innocent

We try to run away
Lay waste to all we find
How can we trust the hand that would trash?
The cradle of life
