[Verse 1] When the mountain touches the valley All the clouds are taught to fly As our souls will leave this land most peacefully Though our minds be filled with questions In our hearts well understand When the river meets the sea [Verse 2] Like a flower that has blossomed in the dry and barren sand We are born and born again most gracefully Thus the winds of time will take us with a sure and steady hand When the river meets the sea [Verse 3] Patience, my brother and patience, my son In that sweet and final hour Truth and justice will be done [Verse 4] Like a baby when it is sleeping In its loving mothers arms What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery But his life will find a purpose And in time hell understand When the river meets the sea When the river meets the almighty sea
