Let the river run, let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise, the morning lights the streets that lead them
And sirens call them on with a song
It's asking for the taking, trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge, running on the water
Coming through the fog, your sons and daughters
We the great and small, stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire through the dark'ning dawn
It's asking for the taking, come run with me now
The sky is the color of blue, you've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge, running on the water
Coming through the fog, your sons and daughters
It's asking for the taking, trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge, running on the water
Coming through the fog, your sons and daughters.
Let the river run, let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.
