The RiverA Poem by Voice Inspired and infused with the song Down in the River to Pray...dedicated to Amber Taporek The River As I went down in the river to pray Down at the river Children aren’t crying Down at the river No one is lying No one is different We all are the same Here at the river There is no one to blame Come down to the river And bathe at the shore The water from here Could stop even war There will be no more suffering And no more pain Come down to the river And dance in the rain The most unhappy of man Will know only joy And carefreeness Like he felt as a boy Come down to the river It welcomes all of mankind Peace and serenity Are what you will find The water is clear The current gentle and cool Leaving troubles behind Is the only rule God is looking down on us Smiling wide This river is made From the tears he has cried Walk through the river Sing and rejoice Please come to the water It is your choice Listen to the rapids As you lie on the sand While thy mother and father Walk hand in hand The water brings life Hear at the stream And the river will continue To be a heaven sent dream But no one is sleeping There is too much to see From the cross on the donkey To the dove in the tree Here at the river You will never be alone People are kind And are gentle in tone You will always be loved You will always be cherished Here at the river Evil has perished Let your long flowing hair Blow in the breeze Here at the river Surrounded by trees The birds are calling The flowers grow The buck prances along Next to the doe The river can cleanse Make you anew It’s up to you Submerge in the water Wash them away Come thou child It’s a new day
Come to the river If you cannot cope Come to the river It offers hope Come pray with me at the river And remember this poem My child the river Will lead you home Inspired and infused with the song Down in the River to Pray
*Dedicated to Amber Toporek*
