River Of Jordan

Peter Paul And Mary · Other Songs - Peter Paul And Mary

I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan to find where it flows to the sea

I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry; I saw I was looking at me

I wanted to know if life had a purpose, and what it all means in the end

In the silence I listened to voices inside me and they told me again and again:



Chorus:



There is only one river

There is only one sea

And it flows through you

And it flows through me

There is {We are (2nd and 3rd time)} only one people

We are one in the same

We are all one spirit

We are all one name

We are the father, mother, daughter, and son

From the dawn of creation

We are one. We are one. We are one.



Every blade of grass on the mountain

Every drop in the sea

Every cry of a new-born baby

Every prayer to be free

Every hope at the end of a rainbow

Every song ever sung

Is a part of the family of woman and man

That means everyone!



Chorus X2
