"Rolling River" lyrics - SHARI ULRICH

Yesterday the light was different
Ever grey and green and gold
We watched the days race quickly by
And we let the rest unfold

Then we saw fear on the horizon
Thunder towards us like the wind
We seal the doors and windows
And we steel ourselves to win

There's a rolling river to carry us home
We are cold and weary
But never alone
Made of tears and courage
Flesh and bone
Oh we built this boat to carry us home

All in turn we lead and follow
Ever learning, never done
Through the pain and wind and rain
We dig and pull as one

We are leaves upon the water
We're survivors of the storm
There's faith and trust in each of us
And it keeps us steady on

There's a rolling river to carry us on
She is deep and mighty
Stirring and strong
Oh we ride her current
And sing her song
Oh we built this boat to carry us on

There's a rolling river to carry us home
We are cold and weary
But never alone
Made of tears and courage
Flesh and bone
Oh we built this boat to carry us home

There's a rolling river to carry us on
She is deep and mighty
Stirring and strong
Oh we ride her current
And sing her song
Oh we built this boat to carry us on
