Vicky Sampson - One River Lyrics

(It began in Africa)
One river

We gotta, we gotta help
We gotta, we gotta help
We gotta, we gotta help
Now your help, that's what we are

Every tear
We have shed in pain
All the blood we have spilled in vain
Every year
That has slipped away
All the fear surely flows into

One river (We gotta, we gotta)
One river (We gotta, we gotta)
We gotta help

One river (We gotta, we gotta)
'Cause that's what we are
Oh, one river (We gotta, we gotta)
We gotta help

Now listen to me
Every stream
We have tried to tame
Our hopes and dreams are still flowing to

One river (We gotta, we gotta)
One river (We gotta, we gotta)
We gotta help
One river (We gotta, we gotta)
'Cause that's what we are
Oh, one river (We gotta, we gotta)
We gotta help

(Go placidly amidst the noise and the haste)
(And remember what peace there may be in silence)
(As far as possible and without surrender)
(Be on good terms with all people)
(Listen to the dull and ignorant)
(For they too have their story)
(And you know what, be at peace with God)
('Cause it's still a beautiful world)

(We gotta, we gotta)
One river (We gotta, we gotta)
We gotta help
One river (We gotta, we gotta)
Oh, one river (We gotta, we gotta)
We gotta help

(We gotta, we gotta)
(We gotta, we gotta)
One river (We gotta, we gotta)
'Cause that's what we are
Oh, one river (We gotta, we gotta)
We gotta help
