Irma Thomas — River Is Waiting lyrics

Lyrics

The river is waiting
Come rise up A new day is coming
Come rise up Well be sailing at first light
Come gather
Set our course for the crossing
Together
Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on The river is waiting
I’m ready
To slip from this island
I’m ready
Gonna leave all my sorrows
Behind me Lift my face to the new day
Im rising
Oh, sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on River sail on Sail on, sail on
