The River Won't Flow (From 'Songs for a New World')
MAN 2: I left my home at fifteen I wore this very same coat My mama said, 'Son, if you stay on this path, You'll find a river full of money where the rich fish flow' I said, 'I'll catch me them fish' And I've searched low and searched high
Well, I've seen more water than Columbus had seen I found me this lake that was greener than green I said, 'Mama, I know this is what you mean' But when I bent for a sip, the river ran dry The river won't flow for me (no no no) The river won't flow for me (no no no no)
I live my life on the up and up And this is where I was meant to be But the river don't The river won't Flow for me
MAN 1: I never had me no house I never had me no phone I never had much that I didn't have to go And fight for the right to call it my own
I don't expect any help I don't expect nothing free It's not about being any righteous man It's not about God and the master plan It's not about doing the best I can No, this corner was where I was born to be
'Cause the river won't flow for me (no no no) The river won't flow for me (no no no no) It's just one of the little lessons That I learned on my Mama's knee The river don't The river won't Flow for me
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2: It's all luck, It's just luck

MAN 1: The sinner and the saint could wind up the same 'cause 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2: It's all luck, It's just luck
MAN 2, MAN 1: That decides between the noose and the knife
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2: It's all luck, It's just luck When you're begging to switch With some rich son-of-a-b**ch Who ain't never done nothing to deserve that life
It seems so easy to run Until there's nowhere to go You never get much for the dues you pay You never go far on the easy way There isn't much choice But to kneel and pray For the river, the river, the river
MAN 2: To flow
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2: Flow, flow, flow, flow Flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow
MAN 1 & WOMAN 2: The river's got to flow The river's got to flow
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2: River, river, river, river, Flow!
But the river won't flow for you (no no no) The river won't flow for you (no no no no) You gotta live how you gotta live You gotta do what you gotta do 'Cause the river don't The river won't The river can't The river ain't never ever gonna flow for you
WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2: Never gonna flow for you
MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2: Never gonna flow for you Never gonna flow for you!
