When I woke up this morning
Looked out at the sun
I heard the rooster crowing
Big brother is dead and gone
Still, the river is flowing
Down to the sea
And the sun is shining
Baby on you and me
Hear the people singing that freedom song
See that peace flag flying
Flying for everyone
So many hearts have spoken
So many dreams come true
Still, the river is flowing
And baby just look at you
Still, the river is flowing
Down to the sea
And the sun is shining
On a land that is free
Hear the people singing that freedom song
See that peace flag flying
Flying for everyone
When I lay down this evening
Looked up at the sky
So many stars are shining
For all the sons that have died
Still, the river is flowing
Down to the sea
And the sun is shining
On you and me
