The River
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link & Baba Olatunji

Rollin’ to the sea
Come ye to the water
Lose yourself in me
Never to go back again

Omi omi omi lenia
Oshun oshun awa toro alafia
Omi omi omi lenia
Oshun oshun awa toro alafia

Sunday mornin’
Wash in the river
Strange things fill the air
River run by and smile at me standin’ there

And so I smile right back
And call to the river
Sing me up a little song
River says I don’t mind if you sing along

I been a thousand miles
Seen a lot of faces
For a thousand years
Been a lot of places where no man has gone
Where there’s nothing but the traces of God
An’ I’m rollin’ on

Rollin’ to the sea
Come ye to the water
Lose yourself in me
Never to go back again

Rollin’ to the sea
Come ye to the water
Lose yourself in me
Never to go back again

Wish that I could be like the water
Rollin’ over me
Searchin’ for the peace at the river’s end

Some day soon
When finally the river’s
Rollin’ round the moon
I will be at peace again

Omi omi omi lenia
Oshun oshun awa toro alafia

God He gives
The power to the river
River to the man
It was so before the world began

Time won’t wait
It flows with the river
Don’t look back my friend
Get on in and go to the river’s end

More than a thousand miles
Rolling on inside you
And a thousand lies
Trying to divide you while you carry on
And she’s always there to guide you along
Still rushing on

Rollin’ to the sea
Come ye to the water
Lose yourself in me
Never to go back again
Rollin’ to the sea
Come ye to the water
Lose yourself in me
Never to go back again

Wish that I
Could be like the water
Rollin’ over me
Searchin’ for the peace at the river’s end

Some day soon
When finally the river’s
Rollin’ round the moon
I will be at peace again
I will be at peace again
I will be at peace again
