When the longest of rests only makes you more weary When the brightest of suns only makes you feel cold When the blackest of nights comes in to surround you, child There will be light and you got to grab hold, cause Theres a place in the life everlasting Where the father will sit by the side of the son Oh And after the desert has dried up the water Yeah The river will flow and the river will run When the song that you sing feels worn out and tired When the baby thats born already feels old When blackest of nights comes in to surround you, child There will be light and you got to grab hold, cause Theres a place in the life everlasting Where the father will sit by the side of the son Oh And after the desert has dried up the water Yeah The river will flow and the river will run Until the moon turns red, until the kingdom comes Until justice shines its light over everyone Until it all goes right in a world gone wrong You got to hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Cause Theres a place in the life everlasting Where the father will sit by the side of the son Oh And after the desert has dried up the water Yeah The river will flow and the river will run Ill sing it now Na na na... Come on sing it now Na na na... I know youre tired cause youve come so far Still you got a long way Yeah Got a long ways to go
