Ive Known Rivers by Gary Bartz Lyrics

This next song, was inspired by a poem written by Langston Hughes
I'm sure most of you have heard of Langston Hughes
And he wrote a poem, about rivers
And we call this song "I've Known Rivers"

Rivers I have seen
And rivers I have known
Ancient than the world
And older than the blood
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

All through Africa, and North America
South America and Australia
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

I've known rivers in the north and the south
I've known rivers in the east and the west
I've known rivers all over this world
I've sailed some and seen the rest
I've known rivers, I've known rivers
I've known rivers
Ancient dusky rivers
And my soul has grown deep
Like the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, like the

Rivers I have seen
And rivers I have known
Ancient than the world
And older than the blood
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

All through Africa, and the north of America
In South America and Australia
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

I've known rivers in the north and the south
I've known rivers in the east and the west
I've known rivers all over this world
I've sailed some and seen the rest
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

I've known rivers
Ancient dusky rivers
And my soul has grown deep
Like the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, like the
Rivers I have seen
And rivers I have known
Ancient than the world
And older than the blood
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

All through Africa, and North America
South America and Australia
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

I've known rivers in the north and the south
I've known rivers in the east and the west
I've known rivers all over this world
I've sailed some and seen the rest
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

I've known rivers
Ancient dusky rivers
And my soul has grown deep
Like the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, like the

Rivers I have known
And rivers I have seen
Ancient than the world
And older than the blood
I've known rivers, I've known rivers
All through Africa, and North America
South America and Australia
I've known rivers, I've known rivers

I've known rivers in the north and south
I've known rivers in the east and the west
I've known rivers all over this world
I've sailed some and seen rivers
I've known rivers

I've known rivers
Ancient dusky rivers
And my soul has grown deep
Like the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, like the
