Like a bird from prison bars
I'm escaping
And behind me on the long highway
Is all that i'm forsaking
Oh, river flows
I am bound from the river you come

I'm gonna bathe in the river
Gonna hold my head up in the river
Not gonna worry anymore
Until i reach that home

I don't feel afraid of how i feel
And in family i will be free
Oh, river flowing
I'm gonna learn how to cope when you're gone

I'm gonna bathe in the river
Gonna hold my head up in the river
Not gonna worry anymore gonna reach that home

Mighty river
Hear that rushing sound,

I'm gonna bathe in the river
Gonna hold my head up in the river
Not gonna worry anymore gonna reach that home
I'm gonna bathe in the river
Gonna hold my head up in the river
Not gonna worry anymore gonna reach that home
