River to My People

Dedicated to the memory of:
Paul Hetland and David Todd Hetland
 

I know a boy, seven years old
Watched his daddy pack his bags and go
But he didn't go far, and as the boy grew to be a man
His father showed him how a pillar stands, he said...

I am a river to my people
Flowing out to them, and they keep on, moving to the sea
I am a river to my people
And they are the ocean to me

I know a young man, saw him laid to rest
Surrounded by all the people who loved him best
And though we were left behind, as we said goodbye
We knew that the river will never run dry, we heard...

Ours are the tears, but he showed no fear
Because he put his trust in the living water
And I can still hear...
