River of Song by Eric Bibb 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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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
