Eric Bibb - River of Song lyrics

First time I heard you sing
It made me stronger
Stronger in a way I can’t explain
A sound like freedom when it rings
A sound like thunder – an’ hard rain

A sound like clear, ripplin’ water
Flowin’ down the mountain so long
Someday, we’ll meet again
Somewhere on the river of song

Next time I head your voice
Oh, I was grateful for all I
Thought was lost an’ gone
Your voice made us rejoice
Made us feel like goin’ on

A sound like clear, ripplin’ water

Deep river, windin’ river, healin’ river
River of song

Odetta, last time I heard you sing
You lifted me higher –
Higher than ever before
Your voice, so strong, so free – lifted me
Purified my soul

A sound like clear, ripplin’ water
Someday, we’ll meet again
Somewhere on the river of song

Deep river, windin’ river, healin’ river
River of song
Deep river, windin’ river, healin’ river
River of song
