"New River" lyrics

"New River"

It took forever and a day for the canyon's and coasts to erode away
By the weight of the ocean's cyclical motion they swayed

And though the eons may pass as slow as the sands of an hourglass
Every grain that we've counted claims that even the mountains can change

Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river

I know the winds from the south have the waves riled up like a hungry mouth
And your stomach goes hollow at the thought that it could swallow you whole

Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights, and nothing you do can slow the rising tides
But the river takes her shape from every tempest she abides
And like her, you'll be made new again

Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river

Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
