         A                                     D 
When the mountain touches the valley, all the clouds are taught to fly. So  
    A                                       E              A 
our souls will leave this land most peacefully. Though our minds be filled  
                       D                                  A     E 
with questions, in our hearts, we'll understand. When the river meets the  
D----A 
sea.

Like a flower that has blossomed, in the dry and barron sand. We are born,  
                           E              A 
and born again most gracefully. Thus the winds of time will take us with a  
D                               A    E         D---A 
sure and steady hand. When the river meets the sea.

Patience my brothers, and patience my sons. In that sweet and final hour,

truth and justice will be done!

Like a baby when it is sleeping in its loving mothers arms. What a new born  
                      E              A 
baby dreams is a mystery. But in his life, he'll find the purpose, and in  
D                                A     E         D---A          A     E 
time, he'll understand. When the river meets the sea.  When the river meets 
    D  A  E  A 
the almighty sea
