River of Jordan by Peter, Paul and Mary Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan
To find where it flows to the sea
I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry
And I saw I was looking at me
I wanted to know if life had a purpose
And what it all means in the end
In the silence I listened to voices inside me
And they told me again and again
[Chorus]
There is only one river
There is only one sea
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
There is only one people
We are one and the same
We are all one spirit
We are all one name
We are the father
Mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation
We are one
We are one
We are one
[Verse 2]
Every blade of grass on the mountain
Every drop in the sea
Oh, every cry of a newborn baby
Every prayer to be free
Every hope at the end of a rainbow
Every song ever sung
Is a part of the family of woman and man
And that means everyone
[Chorus]
We are only one river
We are only one sea
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
We are only one people
We are one and the same
We are all one spirit
We are all one name
We are the father
Mother, daughter and son
But from the dawn of creation
We are one
We are one
We are one
We are one
[Ensemble Chorus]
We are only one river (Only one river)
We are only one sea (We are only one sea)
And it flows through you (It flows through you)
And it flows through me (And it flows through me)
We are only one people (We are only one people)
We are one and the same (One and the same)
We are all one spirit (One spirit)
We are all one name (And one name)
We are the father (We are the father)
Mother, daughter and son (Mother, daughter and son)
But from the dawn of creation (The dawn of creation)
We are one (We are one)
We are one
We are only one river (Only one river)
We are only one sea (Only one sea)
And it flows through you (Well it flows through you)
And it flows through me (And it flows through me)
We are only one people (We are only one people)
We are one and the same (We are one and the same)
We are all one spirit (We are all one spirit)
We are all one name (We are all one name)
We are the father
Mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation
We are one
I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan
To find where it flows to the sea
I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry
And I saw I was looking at me
I wanted to know if life had a purpose
And what it all means in the end
In the silence I listened to voices inside me
And they told me again and again
[Chorus]
There is only one river
There is only one sea
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
There is only one people
We are one and the same
We are all one spirit
We are all one name
We are the father
Mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation
We are one
We are one
We are one
