A River Is GoneAndy HillA River Is Gone( © Words and Music by Andy Hill) A river is gone where I was raised Where power flowed and children bathed Now the air is hot and dry A fire breathing forth the dawn In the land where I was raised A river is gone A minister wept amid flames and violence Four tiny epitaphs A prophet silenced Tonight the choirs of 16th Street rise like angels in a song And a spirit carries on Where a river is gone And from the faith that died here A million hopes are newly born If I look closely perhaps I’ll see An outline of what once was And one day may be It’s in the wind for now Enshrined in memory Cut it loose Set it free Shine on Shine anywhere a river is gone |
