The river is waiting, come rise up
A new day is coming, come rise up
We'll be sailing at first light, come gather
Set the course for the crossing together
Sail on, sail on, river, sail on
Sail on, sail on, river, sail on
The river is waiting, I'm ready
To slip from this island, I'm ready
Gonna leave all my sorrows behind me
Lift my face to a new day, I'm rising
Sail on, sail on, river, sail on
Sail on, sail on, river, sail on
Sail on, sail on, river, sail on
Sail on, sail on, river, sail on
