lyrics

Cry a tear for the dreamer,
That walks the northern mile,
Trying to reach safety,
From a world that had gone wild.

Oh lord, be careful of the river.
Oh lord, be careful of the anger that it hides.

Say a prayer for the child
That climbs the border gate,
Wishing for some sanity,
But finding only hate.

Oh lord, be careful of the river.
Oh lord, be careful of the anger that it hides.

Find a place in your memory
For those who traveled far,
Wanting just a welcome,
Worn out beneath the stars.

Oh lord, be careful of the river.
Oh lord, be careful of the anger that it hides.
