Up the same
old river that run s from a mountain
A ship full of men came somewhere
black and somewhere brown
An d in their hearts,
hopes and fears they were counting
When they anchored to this
antique land
There a brown man met
a lady in a lily white
Their hands were rough but their
hearts were right
I was born east of
Osmokey
By that same old river that brought
my granddaddy's smile
But if I don't go soon the
air's gonna choke me
There's too much concrete cars and wimper
bars going up all the while
I love people but I won't soon
How can you love when there's
no room?
Carry me away, wind, carry me
Carry me away, wind, carry me
The river is tangled and torn
The people are looking for love
I wanna leave this rhythm blowing,
I wanna leave this rhythm blowing
Fill it with space, fill it with trees, fill it with our breeze,
yeah
We're moving up, we're moving up , we're moving up ,
we're moving up.
No, a man said he would build
a floating city
Wouldn't that be pretty,
feet up in the clouds?
But tell me, my friend, how to live?
What we gonna do for now?
I love people, but I won't soon
How can you love when there's no room?
