lyrics

Son before you leave
On that journey to the sea
Where we all go
And heaven knows
The rivers flow

Strangers on the land
We sail the desert sand
Looking for that stream
That’s where you wanna be
Mighty Rivers grow

There will be dark and weary nights
Maybe a crippling appetite
For a dream you thought was yours
Sailing off for distant shores
Just let it go
We can't slow
The Mighty River’s tow

Son, I wish you well
If never learn to sail
But Even if you fold
That old boat will hold
Where Mighty Rivers go

And on your darkest nights
Look inside you
There's a light
Turn it on and glow
But don’t put on a show
That Mighty River knows

There may be songs
Left unsung
Broken things
And setting suns
Hope too far from reach
Like a mirage up on the beach
Heaven knows
You can’t slow
The Mighty Rivers tow
On to the sea eventually
Mighty Rivers go

Son, you’ll always be
A child upon my knee
But I can’t go
Where you need to go
So let them Mighty Rivers flow

There will be dark and lonely nights
Maybe a crippling appetite
For a love that once was yours
Sailing off to other shores
Just let ‘er go
You can’t hold
The Mighty Rivers tow

Just find the sea
And there you’ll be
A Mighty River Soul
